ToV and BD both had awesome legs, so it's possible that a supply-strapped SO4 could see very good legs, and double it's sales over it's lifetime. Let's give it a week to see what happens to it's legs before passing a lot of judgment. As for hardware, the 360 is experiencing diminishing returns, as the average sales per week is picking up. Every console sees this. If a Wii game launched, and sold a similar number of software units, it may not see a boost at all. If you look at the hardware sales after a 'big' software title launches, you can see that as the HW install base grows, it takes more and more software units pushed to equal a hardware spike. This is normal, folks. Now, having said that, I think the 360 should see hardware sales over 10k for the next 2 months, or so. 2009 is blowing every other year out of the water for the 360. |
Blue Dragon sold well for so long because it was THE game that you wanted for the 360. If you wanted a 360, then youd also have to get BD with it, and everyone who had a 360, this was like Halo or MGS, it was THE game your system needed. I too am really shocked that ToV sold another 10k units since start of the year, but it still wasnt a BD sized game
