| jman8 said: I've just heard a lot of folks wonder aloud things like "Why is Square Enix supporting the PSP so much when they could make these games on DS," or "why are developers ignoring the Wii; there's so many systems out there." My original post is in response to these questions along with the arguments I mentioned in the first paragraph. IMO, devs are seeing what I'm seeing, which is that a large install base doesn't necessarily mean the dev is going to generate big time sales and profit by releasing their game on this popular system. They might actually be better off releasing their game another system where they don't have to compete with many other games. |
- Do you think those games would have sold better and made more $$$'s if they were developed and released on another system, all other things being equal (i.e., marketing, new IP, etc.)?
- Are you just comparing the DS vs. PSP market or were you being subtle and trying to infer that these titles would have done better in Japan on a system where there is relatively little competition (e.g., the 360)?
- Just saying "They might" isn't really saying much at all. Ya know.
