Why the PS3 will not last long, let alone 10 years.

Oh please show me in this thread, or any thread, where I said those Wii iterations of franchise games are the reason Wii sells so well.  Please find it because Im, having difficulty doing so.

 

However, you've unwittingly helped my point.  If continued releases of the same old software are not what makes a console sell at great levels then his assertion that upcoming PS3 games will enhance sales greatly falls apart.

 

 

I guess I jumped the gun, but mocking that great lineup of games by bringing up PS3 saleshad to have you question why the Wii sells so well, right? Even the OP said that great software is what makes the hardware sell, and arguably, the only "great software" that the Wii has is the same games that had the GCN and N64 in last place. So it must be this new stuff that's making it sell...even though it doesn't compare to the PS3 or 360 lineups.

I'm thinking about 3 steps ahead...otherwise: why do you think the Wii sells so well, if the PS3 doesn't sell well, comparatively, with its' great games?

Good sales are a culmination of many factors.   Software is certainly one of them but you cannot rely on it solely as has been suggested by many in this thread.  

I brought up past software hits as a means to show how hardware sales are not as directly relevant to software only.
