Are HW sales directly proportional to SW support?

[DanneSandin]

My two cents: I think SW and HW do go hand in hand. But you can't simply churn out 200 crappy games and expect them to move consoles! You need to bring your A-game for that! I think 3DS and Vita recently showed that: with no killer app (like Mario) the system won't sell it self!

I think Nintendo really blew it with the Wii: they droped the ball back in 2010; they didn't release enough relevant games! And, to compete with the HD twins in the Long term the Wii would have needed more power, to cater better to both casuals and hardcore gamers...
