Where does it say the majority of showings are in 3D? 2. How does that counter my points? |
75% of Avatar US revenue comes from 3D or Imax showing ( which are more expensive but people are choosing to pay higher ticket price to see it in 3D...
The movie industry isnt that different from the gaming industry by the way, despite it's higher number of revenue streams it's not an industry of high profits and for every Avatar there is a 100 million$ movie loosing money....
You're saying focus less on technology and make supposedly safer games for business.
Avatar success blows that out of the water. You have to take risks and even the casual public at large can embrass the latest technology and graphics...
What do you think the developer or publisher coming out of watching Avatar wants to work on ? Another PS2 clone ? I don't think so...
PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !
PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
