Well, the obvious point is:

If you look at Sony's 'Big Guns' few broke 10 Million sales on the most popular console of all time. What this implies is that only a small portion of PS2 owners (say 30 Million) were interested in any of these games at all and a large portion of them were interested in the game because it was an excelent game on a system they already owned.

The reality of the situation is that the number of people who buy a system for a particular game (or a handful of particular games) is pretty small ...


I agree though I'd say some of N's games are exceptions to the rule. M:Sunshine, SSBM & MK:DD all sold to around a third of the install base which is pretty considerable.

I think the Wii is the first system who's biggest system seller is not actually a game but an interface which explains the disparity in sales between it and PS3 despite both consoles having similarily less than stellar libraries.
