atma998 said: I simply added some other games to your awful list of only 3 and a half games that lead you to the conclusion that a ''new iteration of a franchise outsells the last in the previous gen''. If you want to take example of games that are more closer to GT5 in terms of behavior, why didnt you take any Need for Speed games in your theory instead of MGS, DMC or FF? Now userbase is not everything for sure but it helps a lot to sell games. Just take a quick look at PS2 vs. PS3, XB vs. XB360 and GC vs. Wii games to see what I'm talking about. However, it's not because your userbase is 2 times bigger than it will sells 2 times more games, but something for sure it won't sell less than before and the other way around... |
Something worth noting again.
MGS4 and god of War 3 wouldn't sell as well as the PS2 games because of the userbase. Yet both games have proven this wrong.
I think this is also something darth was trying to point out.
Also worth noting. The NFS games were milked to the point that they sold like ass on both PS3 and 360... Combined. Underground/Underground 2 were both new, fresh ideas riding on the back of films like Fast and Furious pushing the car modding scene.
