| Ail said: I will agree the software situation is not as clear cut as I made it look like. I went back and looked at several weeks and depending wether the Wii recently had a big release or not ( SSBB, MkWii) it was over 50% software or under.... I guess we need more time to see how that situation evolves...( the next week with the recent GTA4 release are not going to bring a lot of information on the current trends). PS : I hope you're not a closet Dr Who fan and didn't get offended by the analogy lol :P |
This is your best most assumption free post of the thread. We'll need time to see how things unfold. There are a slew of factors that aren't easy to analyze in the current generation. However it's safe to predict that the Wii, as the cheaper and more popular console, will have a lower attach rate but move more software overall. All while still being more profitable than the HD consoles. For Nintendo because of the profitability of the console itself. For the average developer because of the higher install base and lower development costs.
