Well, here's a look at how much titles sold.

0-5K = unkown

5-50K = 147 titles (32% fail to reach 50K)

50-150K = 112 titles (56.4% fail to reach 150)

150-250K = 55 titles (68% fail to reach 250K)

250-400K = 40 titles (77% fail to reach 400K)

400-500K = 18 titles (81% fail to reach 500K)

500-750K = 18 titles (85% fail to reach 750K)

750-1000K = 15 titles (88% fail to reach 1M)

1000-1500K = 17 titles (93% fail to reach 1.5M)

1500-2500K = 9 titles (96% fail to reach 2.5M)

2500K + = 14 titles (3% reach 2.5M)

 

This is a real eye-opener... The fact that only 19% of Wii games reach 500,000 copies sold gives more weight to the 500k for a success on Wii theory.

 

 

btw these stats are exactly the same as PS2. i calculated 28% of Wii and PS2  games make 500k or more, hence maybe a slight difference.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
