Will the Playstation 3 dominate the Wii?

Third party publishers really don't care how their titles sell in comparison to Nintendo's titles, they only care about the return on investment and how well their titles met their expectations. Ubisoft couldn't care less that Rayman: Raving Rabids was outsold by Wario Ware and Mario Party 8, or that Red Steel was outsold by Metroid Prime, they only care that these two games each represented one of the best return on investments of the year and that they (easily) surpassed their expectations; the same holds true of most publishers who have produced games which were not shovelware.

Assassins sales.

1.68 on PS3
2.58 on 360

4.26 million,  yahh no return there ehh lol.

 

 

 

I love how Sony fans always cherry pick ...

Look at any publishers sales on the PS3 and you will see that the vast majority of their titles do not sell more than 250,000 units (typically selling less than 125,000 units) even though the development costs on a PS3 game are very high; there have been (about) 120 games released and 32 are above 250,000 units sold, with 63 above 125,000 units sold.

The Wii, in contrast, has not had that much expensive or high quality third party support yet but has 46 games above 250,000 units sold, and 77 above 125,000 units sold ...

 

Third party publishers are essentially being asked whether they want to invest $2 to $10 Million on a Wii game which will (for the most part) have revenues between $4 and $60 Million, or to invest $20 to $80 Million on a PS3 game which will (for the most part) have revenues between $4 and $80 ... Which has the better return on investment and which is higher risk?
