| oniyide said: THats not what you said, you said they do BEST on Ninty systems which is factual wrong as you can compare multiplat versions of the same game and see where that is simply not true. Install base? no crap, it will do best on the system that has the MOST consoles in the wild, funny how that works out like that most of the time. Never said it didnt sell well on Ninty consoles, just not the best always. Your statement is still wrong, because you forgot Sonic Mega Collection which blew past GC version despite releasing almost two years later. Ill add Sonic 4 ep1 to that list, WIi version was the worst selling one, with the Ios version being the best and if we really wanna get funky Sonic Generations 3ds version didnt do as well as the consoles. So yeah your statement is wrong. |
"Best" is not literally the same as "most".
There's one game that is the same on both PS2 and GC that sold better on PS2, and that's Sonic Heroes. Sonic Mega Collection on GC was then followed by Sonic Mega Collection Plus on PS2. Not the same product.
As for Sonic 4 Episode 1... we have no numbers only a vague suggestion that the order goes PS3>360>Wii. And it can easily be blamed on WiiWare being an insufficient platform at the time (to make the point, I'd actually forgotten that they even released it on the Wii). I'll happily acknowledge that the Wii's downloadable game infrastructure was inadequate.
Sonic Generations doesn't count because again, not the same game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_Generations#Stages). And despite having a significantly lower metacritic/gamerankings score, and being released on a system with a relatively tiny install base, it still managed to sell nearly as well as the 360 and PS3 versions. Also note that it sold better in 2012 (better than 2011, actually), and is selling better in 2013; and with the new generation of consoles coming up, it's likely that the 3DS version will keep selling long after the PS3 and 360 versions stop selling entirely.
So again, I stand by my statement.
