PS3 + PS4 10 million in whole. The assumption reads as follows.. "It's still the same old problem. Sony games don't sell on Sony systems, but first party software is where the big money comes from." Furthermore, it is Nintendo games that sell Nintendo hardware and not having much 3rd party competition (including no 3rd bundurus: but Nintendo games bundurus in abundance) is benefiting sales of Nintendo games. In case of Playstation it is first AND third party selling the systems, with bundles for pretty much every major title. There wouldn't be significantly more copies sold if the Wii U had support by 3rds and bigger hardware base. Or are you seriously assuming that, if Wii U sales would knock at the 100 mil mark and had the same amount of third party games as Sonys Playstation has, Splatoon would have sold 10 times as much? Yeah, and Bloodborne is outselling Devils Third 50:1. Wait... didn't i mention this already? You must have overlooked that one. And what about Bayonetta? Bayonetta 2. Sold 0.9m on an install base of barely 8m Wii Us. Where as the First Bayonetta sold .9m on an install base of ca. 38m 360s. What is this telling us? Naive superficial assessments fail to paint the whole picture. As ever. |
Compare first party Nintendo games and their sales to Sony first paty games and their sales. Throw out last generation ports, from both consoles and only compare brand new first party titles.
You'll be shocked.
