This is likely due to the exclusivity factor as exclusive releases on Sony's platforms have historically shown to be a better hardware driver than that of multi-platform releases. On average, PS3 exclusive games sell 45% more, throughout their lifetime, than multi-platform titles available on the PS3. Exclusive titles for the other two systems, the Wii and Xbox 360, only boast a small increase in lifetime sales over multi-platform titles. Of course, in all fairness, the first year of Xbox 360 titles were pretty much all exclusive since the other systems were not available on the market." |
What a load of crap. Almost all the top sellers on Wii are made/published by Nintendo, all of which are console exclusive titles (save Zelda which is also on GC, I don't count M&S at the Olympics because handheld vs console not really comparable), one wonder how he comes up with this "truth".
