Haven't said it is record low... I'm talking about 7th gen... but it's health enough, the problem is that tacking out massive bundles it would probably drop to low 7. Anyway Ninty make reaps of money, their only problem was lack of 3rd party sucess that made WiiU even harder to suceed. But if you look at 6th gen PS2 (160M HW and 1.5B SW) having only 5 games over 10M, while PS3 got 85M HW and 850M SW having 7 over 10M it is quite clear how much squewed gaming got and how much they suffocated low to mid tier... niche is dropping a lot. |
A bundle is still a sale though, people know when they buy the bundle that they are buying the game as well and they make the decision with that knowledge. It's not like bundling is a Nintendo exclusive practice either.
The mid tier of development was essentially gutted in the 7th gen, true, but I'd say that was more due to the polarization of everything having to be either a Triple A blockbuster or a $5 indie; the games in the middle were neglected.
