They are LTD sales so I probably should have worded that differently (the games are Tekken and Rayman). There were also two 5 million+ third party games released in the PS1's first year in North America (Tekken 2 and Resident Evil, LTD sales). There were also some 1.5+ million plus third party games (LTD sales) as well in it's first full year in North America. In it's second it had FF7 which has LTD sales of 9.72 million. I'm not going to bother arguing anymore and will just wait and see, it's hard to debate predictions which is what most of the discussion is. |
Ah, okay. I didn't remember the time period that well (12-13 years ago) but I didn't recall any 3rd party titles that sold 3 million in the first year. I thought you might have access to some old charts. Anyways, from what I said earlier, I really think it will only take two years total, so one more year left, to see if third parties are going to put AAA development on the Wii. If there's no significant shift by TGS next year then it's not going to happen like some people are predicting. If most devs/publishers can survive off of PS3/360 being their primary focus then they can, if not, not.
