Please name one game that's sold 1,000,000 copies worldwide that's getting it's franchise sent to Wii-only. My point? The major trend is that companies are jumping single-system exclusivity left and right. Thus far, the only major game I can think of switching is Dragon Quest IX. Outside of that, any game has been announced on 360 from PS3, vice versa, or going all 3. HappySquirrel - I never said, nor ever will say, that the 360 stands a chance to even get within 15m of the global leader, whomever it is. I do feel, however, that the 360 will win with a pretty decent lead in the US, primarily because regardless, the 360 DOES have a year on the Wii that gave it 3m unit sales, and might end up having another 6mo to 1 and 1/2 years before the Wii is re-done to a new model. Yes, I agree it's near impossible to compare platformers to FPSes, but you can look at trends and see that FPSes, love it or hate it, have started to do better within the past 3 years. I don't remember Doom and Quake, for all they were worth, selling to the likes of old platformers like Super Mario. |
Check the worldwide sales of Red Steel and Raymond Rabbit from here first !! They break one million already ! The platformer is a complete different audience to FPS. Platformer is much more easy to get the light and non gamer while compare to FPS. So let see how these two title performs after they release for 6 months. For the console, I really doubt if 360 can reach the level that Wii did in America consider they are focus more on core gamer while the population is far less than the light and non gamer. Wii is a phenomenal hit all over the world including America. I believe Wii will surpass 360 in America by the end of this year if their production can up 100% in 2nd half. Let's see the result at that time !
