| RolStoppable said: This graph is really reflective of the strength of third party support. The Wii only got as far as Nintendo could push it and once they had messed up with their 2008 holiday lineup, the software started to drop in line with the hardware. Meanwhile, the HD consoles are following the PS2. The 360 bucks the trend in year 5, because unlike the PS2, its hardware sales were up year over year. |
Wii users perhaps don't typically buy much software, but they play what they have heaps and when they first get the system they buy a lot. Hence the support for games which have gameplay longevity in either replayability or single player and the low peak software sales even though it outpaced the PS2 in the same timeframe. You could say its a lifestyle system.
Tease.
