I mean, it's every person I talk to--they would ALL love to play the latest Mario or Zelda, but they're just not interested enough to actually buy the system just for those games. Not even close. Yeah, install base matters. Wii games didn't sell that much more because it was an artificially inflated install base consisting of people who wanted nothing but Wii Sports and the like. With an install base of 150 million actual gamers, things would be different. This has gone back for several generations. |
How does that explain why most of these franchises sales have stayed stagnant whether they were on NES, SNES, Gameboy, N64, GBA, DS?
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
