Why can the Wii sell the same 3 games forever....?

I'd the say the simplest answer is they're good games and good games sell well.

Good games sell well in a platform that actually is a good software seller.

good ps3 games don't sell even half of wii games.

You need to have a good game, or at least a popular one  (wii play isn't good, I dont  know about you but...) and a good platform capable of streaming those sales. That's all.

 

I understand good PS3 games will not sell like good Wii games, but it's unrealistic to expect them to. A game like MGS4 has almost 4 million sales, and thats about 22% of PS3 owners. A game like MKWii sold 11 million, but over the Wii install base, its about 27%.

The numbers are close, and when you factor in the mass appeal of the Wii and MKWii, it's not unreasonable that MK is 5% higher over its install base. Of course PS3 games can't sell like Wii games, because PS3 games have less than half the potential customers of Wii games. It's like if you started working out and were comparing your strength to someone who has been going to the gym for 6 years. It's not a straight comparison. Good PS3 sell well compared to the PS3 install base, with a few exceptions.
