| DMeisterJ said: Different though. Bundling an accessory, and a game bundled with the system are two different things. So are price. The revenue Wii play has bought in 900 million dollars (ZOMG), and the revenue the PS3 has brought in is 7.2 billion. (at ~400 price, actually much more considering a few million were sold for 5 and 6 hundred). That puts things into major perspective. |
Speaking of relevance, what's the relevance of revenue? Billions in R&D+Billions in advertising, to lose billions more on hw. The PS3's hw losses are enough to wipe out any profit being made by 2 other pieces of hw and sw on 3 systems. Yet Wii Play cost next to nothing to make and will probably make a 1/4 billion, if not more, in profit. Seeing how Wii Play is just 1 game, on a system that came out of nowhere and made a name for itself this gen, while the PS3 has both the PS and Sony brand names slapped on it, I consider that pretty impressive. Tell me again, which new IP exclusively for the PS3 is going to make 1/4 billion $ profit and outsell the PS3.
