The difference between GoW3 and SMG2 is that a lot of people were holding off on buying a PS3 specifically for this game. While SMG2 and any other sequel Nintendo releases will have huge software numbers I don't believe it will sell as many consoles as people seem to think. |
All games which sell over 10M copies effect hardware sales. So I doubt that SMG will be any different. Its a big event and a good reason for anyone interested in the Wii to go and buy one. There are a lot of people who haven't got one whom are also interested in getting one.
Why would people hold off buying a PS3 for one middling big release? So everything which has come before that game isn't good enough reason to buy a PS3 like for instance the GOW remasted compilation, Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid 4 etc, etc, etc?
Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?
