Be more interesting to see what % of each rating reach a million on each system.

 

I mean if there are only say 10 mature games total on Wii, how can it be expected to have 15 million mature sellers.

 

Be nice to see what % of E rated games reach a million for each console

What percent of E10 games reach a million on each conosle

What percent T...  You get the picture.

If 90% of games on Wii are rated E, no duh the % of million sellers are going to be mostly E rated.  If 90% of games on 360/ps3 are rated M, no duh most million sellers are going to be rated M.  So this study doesn't really help in seeing the overal picture.   regardless of quality of game, if the 360 has 50 mature games, and Wii has only 10, then the 360 will most likely have more mature games that reach a million.  be more insightful to see what percent of each genre on each console reaches a milion.  That is better. 

 

Now you look and see Wii has what like 5 mature games that reach a million.  But is that 5 out of 50, 5 out of 10?  What is that.  Big difference if 50% of all mature games reach 1 million versus 10%.

That would be very interesting and very cool if someone did that. Of course, that someone would never be me.

Man, I'm just getting a headache from thinking about how much work that would take.

But it is an interesting point, that with %, each console is on equal terms. For example, Wii has 17 "T" games that have sold over a million, while PS3 has 20. Now, they're not too far apart, but since Wii has more total Million Sellers, Wii's % is at 20% while PS3's is at 33%.

That's a very interesting point. That's one of the points I want to talk about when everything is said and done.

I'm glad you made this thread actually, cause it adds a visual reference to it. To me Nintendo can't be the only one to come up with "Bridge" titles, companies copying what Ninty does won't cut it. It has to be a 3rd party too, cause they then can place their product on all platforms.  But, I don't want to take your thunder on a potential thread, lol.

...But one more thing, 3rd parties NOW, if wanted too, could help bridge the gap between the so called "casuals" & "Hardcore" group by placing all their AAA games on ALL platforms.

Because the "casualization" of core games has been going on for a while now, it's just a matter of getting it into the peoples hands, lol
