| kowenicki said: now that this is mandatory for online play.... what effect will this have on Software sales do we think? serious question. It MUST have some effect. |
depends on how strong Wii U will perform.
People won't switch to xbox as the situation is the same there.They will either switch to wii u or stop playing multiplayer.Right now there is few reason to switch to wii u.
therefore (mainly)single player games shouldn't be effected in a significant way,but games that are bought because of the multiplayer may lose 10-30%.
1st we'll have to find out how many passioned sony-onlinegamers are willing to pay for ps+.
,if for example 50% won't pay for ps+ the sales for cod of course won't drop by 50% ,Now we have to find out how many of those 50% are only buying cod because of multiplayer-if half of them just buy the game because of the multiplayer they have no more reason to buy cod now.
half of 50% is 25%.-that's how much the sales could drop.
