Sales - Lifespan of the Wii? - View Post

2 more things...

1. Star Fox and DKC ought to prove pretty well that SNES was more powerful than Genesis.

2. There are no less than 4 historical precedents for Wii selling 100 million units, and none for PS3. Atari 2600 would have done 100 million if heavily pushed in as many markets as exist today, with today's population. NES would have done 100 million if heavily pushed in Europe, with today's population. Game Boy did 100 million, and so did PSone. There are no historical precedents for a console like PS3 selling even 50 million. How are these historical precedents? Its about the business plan, stupid. Not the company.

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