| ryuzaki57 said: Now FFXIII-2 is a million seller on PS3, I had a quick look on game DB and found out it was actually the 133th million seller on PS3, while Wii has only 131. We are in a most curious situation : the best-selling system has the lowest amount of million sellers (and 500K sellers), but it's the only one to have 20 million sellers. What does it mean? High concentration on some titles, so an audience much less varied than the the HD competition. Also, PS3&360 million sellers have many more high quality titles than Wii's. The question is the following : with so many people playing the same games, can Wii still be called the leader of the generation? |
This seems a strange conclusion to draw. If you look at the ~10m+ sellers on Wii, what do you get? A few mini-game collections (if that's what you'd call the Wii Sports games - maybe they could be called sports games), a couple of fitness games, a racing game, a 2D platformer, a 3D platformer and a fighting game. You'll perhaps be able to add a dance game to that by the end of the generation. What do you get on the HD systems? A mini-game collection and FPSes (CoD + Halo 3). This does not suggest a less varied audience on the Wii to me.
Also, not sure quite how valid the bundling argument being made by a few people is in relation to creating artificial software totals. My Wii came with one bundled game (that I would have bought if it hadn't), while my 360 came with two (neither of which would I have bothered with, and both of which I part-exchanged within a couple of weeks).
