No it is not. Are you saying that a console don't need games to sell? |
I already posted this, but perhaps you didn't notice it the first time though.
"Consoles do need games...a lot of games...that are exclusive to that platform. No one is going to buy a Wii U because it plays a game that a console they can get for $100 at Gamestop can play as well. People will start buying a Wii U when there are enough high quality games on it that people can't get elsewhere. It's the exact same reason the 3DS went from failing to incredibly successful in the span of less than a year. The 3DS had a ton of high quality, exclusive games that people couldn't get elsewhere, like FE: Awakening, Luigi's Mansion 2, RE: Revelations, NSMB2, PM: Sticker Star, KH: Drop Distance, KI: Uprising, and most recently, the new Animal Crossing. All of these are games that you can't get anywhere else (with the exception of RE: Revelations, which was exclusive until just recently). People will buy Wii Us when they can play games on it that they can't play elsewhere (or, at least, when the Wii U is the cheapest option avaliable to play the games they want, which won't be the case until the 360/PS3 stop having games being developed for them). Once enough people have bought the system, then third party games that are avaliable on all plats can sell well."
