| or if you live in an alternate universe where hardware sales drive software sales |
Sales of either are directly proportional, hardware sales directly effect software sales and software indirectly effects hardware sales.
If you see several games you want to play on a console you don't have, you're more inclined to buy the console than the opposite.
For example if you see several games you want to play for a console you DO have, very rarely would you buy all of them at once, so in this instance software sells hardware but not necesrrilly itself as a result, but the sale of hardware then increases the number of people to potentially buy a piece of software.
In truth though the argument is as silly as debating if the chicken or egg came first, they're mutually linked.
If the hardware doesn't appeal directly (like the wii did) and there's little in the way if software options then you basically end up with a wiiu.
