Hus, troll this forum more often. I've seen many of the threads deal with the vaunted Sony 1st party machine. PS1 Sony game attach rate was just below 1, PS2 it was below 0.7. Sony accounted for just 28% and 15% of game sales over 1 million respectively. So far Resistence has sold to 36% of PS3 owners despite being one of the few big games on the PS3 at its launch. Zelda has sold to 51% of Wii owners despite over twice the user base. As just one example from the PS2 days, God of War is supposedly one of the true gems of Sony's crown. Yet with a 110 million user base it sold only 2.5 million copies. Sony in all liklihood cannot survive on their 1st party games alone. Nintendo has had an attach rate of greater than 3:1 on every system except the DS (still young so it will probably change) and SNES where it was 2:1. Nintendo has shown it can live on 3rd party whether market leader or not, Sony has given no reason thus far to suspect that it can do the same. Again, we are going to find out soon though.
