| WereKitten said: ^In this case "Other" only contained Guitar Hero/Rock Band titles... for this sample of the 25 top sellers you can rename it "Music/Rhythm" in your mind. As to your hypothesis, it's probably true, but you're probably mixing up cause and effect. Id est: the very different distribution of consoles between Others and America is more likely an effect of the genre preferences, rather than a cause of the difference in attach rates (Japan is a different story, for cultural aversion against foreign products and image problems of the Xbox users) |
I'm sure cause and effect has something to do with it, but not all. You don't get this lopsided of an install base off of games alone. there's price, marketing, brand recognition, word of mouth, etc. Price being probably the biggest prohibitive factor.
Besides, the ps3 has just as many quality shooter games as the 360 so I don't see that really being a big differentiating factor.
