The console doesnt have the games available to justify the pricetag. Its the PS3 all over again, on a smaller scale. What worked for the PS3? Rapid cuts, continued 3rd party support and aiming at the loyal PS2 markets (Europe, S. America, Others). Nintendo need to get the console supported and they needed to target what made the Wii so popular - The expanded market. |
Point here about how bad the console gaming market is -- and what people are missing.
Tomb Raider had disappointing sales of 3.6M. it essentially cost the S-E CEO his job.
If people need 5M sales for a AAA game to be profitable, what kind of hope is there for this industry?
I would bet on Nintendo more than the other two because Nintendo has shown for the last two genreations that it can produce enough big sellers to keep itself afloat.

I am Mario. I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
