Posted February 12, 2007 It doesn't matter if they sell out - its the one with the better games is the winner. Usually there's a correlation between the amount of good gams on a console and the amount of consoles sold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 12, 2007 Well look at a game like okami that will probably be ignored my the masses. Very good game, but it won't sell many units. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 12, 2007 Usually there's a correlation between the amount of good gams on a console and the amount of consoles sold. Not necessarily. I think things will go a little different this time around. With the Wii we can expect similar behaviour to the DS, a lot of units sold but most owners only buy one or 2 titles a year. This reduces the amount of high budget titles that publishers will make for a system. The Wii will most likely see quickly produced games with lots of mass-market appeal whereas the Xbox 360 and PS3 will get their usual round of high-budget epics.

Posted February 12, 2007 Fifa doesn't sell consoles though. PS2s were bought by the masses because of GTA, and fifa was bought because it's the only game the masses, who now own a PS2, associate with. That's what I think anyway. Anyway my point is that DS is winning because it has the better software library, a reason why PS2 won last gen was because there are more games for it. In general there are more good titles for PS2 than for Gamecube or Xbox. And that has to count for something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Games sell consoles. Choice is what people want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
