Development Cost x Installed Base = Games Sales - Well Usually but...

if the library size has a direct link with the user base, than sony commited a huge mistake by making ps3 so expensive and without massive Back compatibility. cause if that graphic shows anything, is the importance of a big installed base in the beginning of the gen. If MS was bold enough, they would have launched the x360 at a ridiculously low price as to garantee a huge installed base. Sony woudn´t stand a chance. The wii, on the other and, would garantee the same success at any case, I think. but this may be a lesson to next gen. Launch early, cheap, with BC and a reasonnable library.
