| HappySqurriel said: I agree with what you're saying because I believe that it is primarily games which are the reason why people buy systems; what I was trying to say was that I don't really believe that a single game (or small collection of games) really has the drastic impact on game sales that many people think it does. |
Ok, I can see that. But at the same time, a lot of console owners (an awful lot) only have a small collection of games.
One or two system sellers might not convince someone to go out and buy a console, but when they decide that they want a console, then those games help them decide what console to get. Gears sure seemed to help the 360 for a while, and the PS3 sales in Japan is a perfect indicator. Sure they were small jumps, but Gundum Musou and Hot Shots Golf brought relatively big sales jumps. If neither of those games came out the PS3 would probably be doing 360 numbers over there.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.
Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
