| Ail said: The 360 has the potential to add 15 or so million sellers these holydays. I don't see the Wii adding that much so I actually expect the gap to increase... The fact that the 360 and the PS3 get less titles actually play in their favor too as purchases are spread acccross fewer titles... |
I'm not sure what lineup you're looking at. There's nearly that many already released games that could be added to the million-seller list these holidays or soon after.
I don't want to do list wars, but I could easily make a list of 50 titles to watch from now until the end of March for Wii. There are tons of games (10+) with strong legs, which could have strong holiday boosts. There are plenty of exclusives from proven brands (~10), and plenty of major multi-plats (10+) where the Wii version could reach 1M.
You can't just look for the super-duper big names, though. Just as examples, games like Game Party 2, High School Musical 3 and Sonic Unleashed, might not be things you would think of as "big name titles," but they could all sell 1M copies, and they represent key advantages for Wii.
