It’s Not About Homeruns, It’s About Having the Legs to Run It Out

The revenue chart was just a point of departure that raised the question that was the main point. Why are these games so short lived. It would be easy to update their revenue , just add their first month sales and you would be close because there isn'tmuch after that, the question is why.

I understand. I just meant that there was plenty of other good stuff to sort through in addition to that chart. Sorry if it sounded like I was trying to hijack the thread, though.

 

Not at all, I think you raise a good point but that chart has many things about it I can't explain. Like why and how are MS and Sony doing so bad on games? I thought game revenue was supposed to make up for hardware losses not add to the them.

I don't profess to understand why so few comapnies are doing well. I think the issue of sustaining long term sales is part of the answer but I can't explain why the Nintendo platforms seem to do that so much better.
