Many of these million+ sellers are still considered financial failures due to how much they cost to produce
So while PS All-Stars Battle Royale will enjoy healthy sales for long time, it is still pretty shocking to me that a game that gives both PS3 and PSV version with single purchase didn't rally the PS3 fanbase behind it.
It just shows the Sony fans are not as dedicated to supporting new IP games on Sony platforms as the Nintendo fans are on Nintendo platforms where new experimental games like Smash Bros, Animal Crossing, Brain Age, Professor Layton, etc start out and end up as 5+ million sellers... even 10+ million sellers.
Do the same thing you did for Sony new IPs for Nintendo new IPs and you will see the Nintendo fans just support their platform heck of a lot better.

Nintendo fans pretty much have no choice. If you're on a Nintendo console, you have to buy Nintendo games because that's virtually all there is. I'd say Nintendo fans are just buying what they can rather than showing dedication.

Ugh. For argument's sakes, lets agree that there is nothing but Nintendo games on a Nintendo console. If that's true, then why are people buying Nintendo consoles? To play Nintendo games. How is this anything BUT devotion?

I'd argue people bought the Wii primarily because of the console's features rather than its software (If it were software, then how would you degrading sales of every Nintendo console pre-Wii). After people bought the Wii for features, they only could only buy Nintendo software. |
I don't know what "how would you degrading sales of every Nintendo console pre-wii" means. I'm not trying to be an *** I just think you typed that wrong or something
As for the features, how does that explain the success of games like Brain Age, Layton, Nintendogs, and Animal Crossing? Was touch screen technology really that new and exciting on its own? No. But the software that used it was appealing. Same with the Wii.
