| Trunkin said: In the end it all comes down to the games, and if the consoles were similar in specs, third parties would have no reason not to release games for Nintendo's console, so it would all come down to the exclusives. These days, no one sells more first party copies than Nintendo, and, as proven by the Wii, they can, more or less, carry a console on their own. I don't see how M$ or Sony could beat that. Well, M$ could buy timed exclusives, but what could Sony do? |
It has actually been proven multiple times their exclusives can carry a console to profits. See gamecube. I have actually seen halo outsell several nintendo exclusives I think but from a system seller perspective nintendo still do fine. It would definitely be in sony's best interest to reset their tactics and write cheques again. Gran turismo takes too long to make and that is their only real system seller. Sony do need to start acting and not waiting for things to come to them. Third parties can no longer carry their systems for them.
But its nice to see spurg more reasonable here. Even if he does hate wii u. But it really is too early to say. Especially when we don't know anything about the new systems other then rumors. Definitely blocking used games would be a disaster for sony.
One more thing to complete my year = senran kagura localization =D
