I would not fully agree with you. Take a look at the music industry in recent years. |
i think you are missing the forest through the trees.
the real reason music fell off is from the ipod EDIT(digital media storage/playback devices), which made pirating almost necessary.
honestly, do you really think people fill 20GB which purchased music? The digital distribution will not be so easily pirated, and therefore will lack the tidal wave of interest that people think it will have.
It is the same concept with game systems, where it is actually a better selling point to have possible piracy. Sure you won't sell as many games at first, but after so many people buy the console and are buffing up sales by 5-15% devs shit the bed and put a lot more focus onto that platform.
wonder why the ds sells so many consoles all the time without falter? it is perhaps the easiest console to pirate games for.
this is what kills me about analysts. they never really think things through.
