| Shane said: I don't think it's that extreme. Someone like Sony can do double that in one territory. But for Nintendo, I just don't see how they can achieve things like 800k units in one month in Europe again. Wii may well do better in other territories than it did in the past, but that's still a far cry from being the strongest system, or even a strong system. Anyway, here's where we hit an issue. Japanese and European developers would sooner embrace PS3 on the basis of past success and 360 on the basis of US success than they would Wii, regardless of Wii's current global success. Wii needs to climb that hurdle. I don't know how it can. |
Huh? The success of the PS1/PS2 doesn't negate the faults and present failing of the PS3. And success in three regions trumps success in one, period.

"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
