| TheSource said: The 189m figure is PS3 retail games shipped through June 2009. None of the big three disclose hardware digital downloaded game figures because the amounts are tiny. We only get retail shipments because each of the big three get a royalty on 3rd party software. If there are 100m third party games shipped per year for a system, its like a $1 billion in pure profit. Digital games are more like $3/title and your talking only tens or hundreds of thousands of full games downloaded per month as compared to millions of games shipped per month. |
Assumptions.
I actually think the 3 companies make quite a bit on DD titles (especially 1st/2nd party ones) and I actually think it's not as tiny as you're suggesting it is.
