The data presented in that 'press release' was out of context and misleading. All that was compared was revenue among games for all three systems in the US since the launch of the 360. Nothing was taken into consideration regarding how many consoles have been sold in the territory versus how many copies of the games were sold. One would expect that the 360, a console focused on online gaming that also happens to have the largest installed base in the US, would dominate the sales data collected. No numbers were provided to back up the company's claims since this 'announcement' was designed to drum up business for sales of this company's 'research'. Also keep in mind that they are the same company who declared that M rated games sell more than any other titles. Apparently, Guitar Hero, Madden, and Pokemon need to add some adult content soon or face extinction. If anyone has access to this report, I'd love to see the data they've put together and how they came up with these 'conclusions'. |
I agree that the press release lacks detail as to how they reached their conclusions, but why are some of you assuming they only compared games across consoles (i.e. a Wii game against a 360 game). Whats to say they didn't compare games only by the same console (360 game against a 360 game)?
