For the relative software and relative business strategy. ie. A failed game on the PS360 will profit 3x less than a failed game within the same region on the Wii, that's my *guess*, and by profit I mean towards publisher. I'm going to go as far as to say Nintendo's 2009 annual report is going to have about 4 billion dollars in profit, roughly 1.5 billion of it strait from Wii's being sold... (Ok maybe I did run some numbers there, but not nearly enough to not make it speculation at best.) The only good thing to come out of this, is that new publishers and developement houses could be on the rise, maybe some of them would rival EA eventually. |
On average a third party Wins bigger on the HD consoles and they lose bigger too.
I would guess that the Wii is a safer bet with higher average returns, but you're less likely to win the jackpot developing for it.
Tease.
