The PS3 has 14 third party games over 500,000 units sold, 26 third party games over 250,000 units sold, and 47 third party games over 125,000 units sold. The Wii has 19 third party games over 500,000 units sold, 33 third party game over 250,000 units sold and 65 third party games over 125,000 units sold. With 20 mln. Wii sold.In comparison to the PS3, the Wii has dramatically lower development costs so it requires less units sold to break even and a Wii game will be more profitable off of the same number of units sold. How much "better" are third party games doing on the PS3? With 20 mln. consoles THE sales NUMBER should be TWICE MORE on Wii. BUT it`s NOT. |
Why should they be exactly twice? Third party developers have released far more high quality sequels to major franchises with massive marketing budgets on the PS3 than they have on the Wii; at the same time Nintendo has released more first party high quality sequels to major franchises with massive marketing budgets than Sony has. Now unless you think that Red Steel should outsell Resistance: Fall of Man, High School Musical: Sing It should outsell Uncharted, Smarty Pants should outsell Heavenly Sword, and Happy Feet should outsell Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction I don't think you can make the argument that third party Wii games should be selling at twice their current level.
