BHR-3s Thoughts
1 Why is this happening?
2 The Wii has more than double the HW out shouldnt it have a better Ratio like the 360 does?
3 The PS3 came out about 6 months later in EU than the Wii yet it has a better Ratio in that Region?
4 PS3 games cost 60$ while most Wii games are 50$ and lower?
5 It looks like the problem to me is that most multis are selling better on the PS3 doesnt the fact that the Wii has motion controls in turn advance the gameplay sway the audience to buy the Wii version?
6 The Wii even has SW being tracked for every console sold with Wii Sports!?
7 Most of the top games for the Wii have come out while PS3s heavy hitters (GT5, GOW3, FF, Twisted Metal)are about to come out?
8 The Wii has a bigger game library doesnt that mean a bigger HW to SW ratio?
I feel that soon the PS3 will pass the Wii in WW tie ratio and even in each region, yeah the Wii has sold more HW than the PS3 and maybe will have sold the most HW wen the gen is done. I feel that the HW to SW ratio means alot for each gen b/c that tells me that there are games being played and bought for the console. I feel the system that has the best HW to SW ratio has the best overall console b/c people are buying multiple games for there respected console meaning that the console has a diverse game library that can appeal to everyone. Who knows someone could be buying all these Wiis and stacking them up somewhere just to make the Wii have the most HW sold for this gen.
In the end its the games that the people buy these systems for is it not?
Please post ur thoughts about this matter or someone please try to anwser my thoughts
