| dsister44 said: why would you buy your kids a $400 ps3 to play kids games? when you can get a wii and a blu-ray player for less. anyway kids don't buy as many games as adults. |
each kid individually may yes buy less games than the hardcore gamer.
but the success of the Wii and the PS2 are based on millions upon millions of kids and not the few million hardcore. There is a topic on news showing the top selling games of the last ten years, and it shows PS2 has roughly 1.5 billion games sold in that time.
And what there is probably at most 250 million of those sales are hardcore games. (out of that list the ps2 toals 100 million) and that means the rest of the games all sold less than 5 million a piece as well. The other 1.25 billion are the casual shit game you guys don't like that the million of kids are buying.
So don't tell me that kids games are worth it. Sure they may not sell the 5 million (but only 10 games have ever sold more than 5 million on each console gen anyway). but the market is insane for casual gamers. I don't understnad how sony did not realize this. shouldn they have been looking where they are getting this shit on of cash from other developers from.
