We've seen time and time again that as major IPs are established, developed, promoted and so on, they establish winners and losers among the consoles - each generation, we see the winner based on the games that are produced for a console's library. |
Developer backing is of crucial importance, no doubt. But that's certainly not a foolproof mantra; how do you explain the Wii? It didn't have squat for third party support or cross-platform hit games, yet has handily outsold both of its competitors this generation... not to mention allowed Nintendo to profit far beyond what Sony or Microsoft will accomplish this gen.
