Well keep in mind the number of consoles moved at launch is not proportionately identical to the number of copies sold by any one launch title. People buying at launch are investing, not buying on the merrits of the console as it stands cause let's just face it, consoles at launch are always lacking in a quantity of quality titles to play on them. What a really strong launch and first year lineup of exclusives does - like the Wii and Playstation 2 had - is instill confidence to invest. It's a different period from any other in a console's lifespan. |
If someone is buying because of the potential they wouldn't be buying for the crossgen game.
