my point is so what if it does...ythe point you overlooking is in order for it to gain that market share these system's would have to just pretty much stop selling for that to happen..the xbox360 had over a 10 million lead, but yet the PS3 still had most of the exclusive's as the XBOX360. UNLESS NINTENDO does what Sony have and Microsoft has 3RD party esp. the Publisher's are going to make every thing multiple platform..there is just more money in it. you have to give these 3RD party's an incentive largest install base or no largest install base the day's of the 3RD party Exclusive is very much over with. that's not going to change GTA 4 sold how much cross platform, FF13 sold how much multiplatform? think about this the Wii replacement is going to have motion control's? are they going to leave the origional Wii out in the cold? the many people that has bought the Wii many casual's are still happy with what the Wii offer's they are in no hurry to upgrade because it's still being purchased at a record pace. |
Uh, a 10m lead is nothing (and 360 didn't even have that really), PS2 had an over 20m lead against GC/Xbox. That's what I mean when I say "PS2-like". If Wii had launched a year before 360, rather than a year later, it would've had that too.
GTA4 sold less than San Andreas, FFXIII sold less than FFX. Like I said, for 3rd parties, 360 & PS3 < PS2.
And no, Nintendo's not going to "leave Wii in the cold". I expect their 2011/2012 Wii lineup will look much like their current and next year DS lineup... a few big titles, 2nd party collabs and maybe a 3rd party pick up or too (hello Dragon Quest). But internal support will be predominantly shifted to next gen.
