| DMeisterJ said: I essentially made the same argument. Apparently now people are sticking their tails between their legs now that the dumb-ass argument to begin with is over. WKC outsold every 360 JRPG in JP in 3 days. Userbase doesn't matter to overall sales, as we can see by PS3 games outselling 360 games (multiplat), and 360 games outselling Wii games(multiplat). It's about demographics, so that argument is a failure. |
Not really. Userbase and demographics go hand in hand. I'm sure there are some differences between them (I gather that the Japanese 360 owner tends to be more of an otaku), but the PS3 and 360 probably capture a similar demographic since so much of their libraries is shared. Assuming they do, and given that the PS3 outnumbers the 360 3:1, the size of the userbase would matter a lot.
