Yes but more games aren't coming out, just those hardcore games, Wii has the casual games this gen, hence why your argument fails

LOL. So HOW many casual games from 3rd PARTIES did over 1 mln. on Wii?
5 games from 15? So how situation differs from GC? =))
What new games not from Nintendo you expect to break 1 mln. in 2008?

GC had 38 games and only 15 games not from nintendo. =]

And those games appeal to who, RPG gamers, fighter gamers, etc. hardcore games, with the exception of a couple I see no casual games, you see my point the PS3 appeals to one niche only

But, can you PROVE, that these games were buying same 20% of PS2 user base?

CrazzyMan for months you've been making long meaningless lists of games that have (so far) failed to spur PS3 sales, sell particularly well, or (in many cases) even be good games ...

The facts are that games like Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid had a high percentage of their owners who owned all (or at least many) of these games; this is not (particularly) surprising to anyone. Of those who only owned one game, they (probably) tended to be very casual (in the classic definition) and choose these games because they were a high profile game ON A SYSTEM THEY OWNED.

The number of people who will buy a PS3 for any (or all) of these games, that have not currently bought a PS3 (or will not buy one in the near future) is small.

while you are mostly correct,i think they will sell a little more then you expect i think GT will sell to a certain crowd different fomr the others so will FF sell to a certain crowd different from the others,and i think MGS4 will be the smallest system seller though will be bought alot from the people that already own the console though the biggest system seller last gen is now on 2 consoles so we shall see who it will help more

 Which is why i said 20% instead of 15%, isnce all of those games are under 15%
