| naznatips said: I think there are system sellers, but I think that there is one major system seller that outweighs all others, and it's not a game per say, but an amount of games: the most games. Simply having the largest wall of games at EB Games, or the most cabinet space in the front cabinet at Walmart, is what REALLY sells systems and determines a winner. Edit: 2000 posts! |

This is exactly the biggest reason why N64 did not catch up with the PS1 as the SNES caught up with Genesis. Number of games. SNES came out years after Genesis, yet it still outsold it, why? Nintendo kept all of the 3rd parties and thus majority of games. PS1 took that support and quickly had a much larger library that N64 could never match.
So, in all one or two AAA games are not going to turn a system around. Just as SM64, waverace, Goldeneye, Zelda:oot, didn't push N64 past PS1, the 3-5 AAA titles supposedly coming out in '08 are not going to push PS3 to the top. The Wii will have the most games and the biggest overall 3rd party support. This will ensure its lead.
