but only because about half the home console gamers on the planet followed the games they wanted to play.

That's a very dubious number claim.
|
how is it a dubious claim?? HD consoles have a higher install base than Wii does. And the gamers dont want sameness, tell that to COD
|
oniyide, it doesn't work quite like that. Summing up the bases for PS3 and 360 don't give the HD installbase. Problem is many users have both or all 3 consoles (even you I think you mentioned). If you have all 3 consoles, that's 3 console sales for one customer. No I'd say the HD install base is at roughly 60 million at the moment, just throwing a number out there, but it's definitely not higher than 86M. Of that 60M, I expect only a fraction of that to be an active base, say 10 to 20M. I go by the game sales. Most games end up selling 2M units combined on the HD plats, mind you the taste variety in that base is so vast that you have to multiply that number by at least 10 different segments.

PS3 has 50 mil worldwide and 360 has 54, thats 104 to 86 for Wii. I see what your saying but lets be real here. most of the multiplat games are available to both PS360 and not Wii. THere called the HD twins for a reason. I was looking at it from the perspective of a third party. THe PS360 are so close to each in terms of dev kits and capabilities im sure when Valve trys to sell, Portal 2 there not looking at we need to sell this much on PS3 or 360, we need to sell this much period. Its not the devs fault that Ninty decided to make a system that would not be compatable with most games they were making. If i want to make an HD game i do have more to work with PS360. I have Wii and PS3, and while i prefer SOny over Ninty, if i was a Ninty fan i would still probably game on PS3 more, simply because they have those 3rd party games that are a no show on Wii

?
I feel like you barely read my post. To help. Let's say you're a 3rd party. Do you think to yourself "If I release HD, I have 104M potential customers". Since money makes most people honest when it comes to what they can gain from something, I'm sure you'd answer a definitive no.

i would say yes. If its HD that means PS3 and 360 those combined you have an install base of 104 mil not that anywhere near as much people will get my game. If i make a WIi only non HD game it would 86 mil potential customers. Or better yet release on all three systems if i can
