Note how the consoles with the most shovelware are the PS2, Wii, DS? Which coincidently will be the 3 highest selling consoles by the time they're done. High sales breed shovelware. Shovelware does not in any way breed low sales |
Yes, but each of them also has had their Marios, Zeldas, Final Fantasys, Metal Gear Solids, Wii Sports etc. Without good games and popular franchises, and only shovelware, a platform is doomed to failure. These are the franchises that push a platform ahead of its competition. After it's established itself, the shovelware follows.
If a platform is launched and has only shovelware, how is it going to gain any traction in the market?
