“The Wii is the antithesis of the Xbox 360. It's strictly for hardcore gamers. The attachment rate for the Xbox 360 is much higher than for the Wii. People who buy the 360 really like games,” he said. “I think the current trend is that most people aren't buying the Wii as a game machine, but as a toy... It seems that Sony isn't sure what it wants to do. Is it making high-end electronics or a game console for gamers? I want them to clearly define their console.” |
SE is already a company in decline, and to dismiss the #1 console as a toy, is just foolish. They will realize the error of their ways when FFXIII is released. Final Fantasy XII sold 4.95 million, a respectable sum but far from the amount the series sold in its prime. This was on a system which sold 117.89 million units. Even if PS3 doubles its sales by the time FFXIII is released, we're looking at very poor sales if the attach ratio doesn't greatly improve.
