Editional : about the sales of console

At first, I seems that there are many comments about console sales. And most of them is "Console sales is too low."

Then, I just start to give expressions to console sales.

1. Deconcentration of demand

First of all, it was clear that SSBB and DMC caused growth in demand of console. So, it is natural for them to think "Console will be sold-out at release day..."

Therefore there is possibility that many people had already bought consoles, especially, year-end and new year market.

2. User base of these games

SSBB and DMC have in common. It is "Both are the games for mainly present gaming users."

The successes of Wii Sports, Wii Play and Wii Fit are induced by growth of demand of non-gaming user base. But, to be honest, SSBB and DMC have little influences to attract them. So, main user base of SSBB and DMC is "present gaming users."

Based on this, There is simple answer for the low train of console sales.

"They have already bought it."

For them, console isn't for only SSBB and DMC. If there was the game that attracts them, they didn't hesitate to buy it with console. (It's more than probable that these are SMG for Wii and DW6 or WE2007 for PS3)
