| Bodhesatva said: Nearly 2/3 of all game sold in May were first party, that's the more damning statistic. I honestly don't know if it's better to keep working to break into the Wii market, or just accept that they fail, suck it up, and make way less money on the PS3/360. |
Normally I'd agree that the ratio is pretty bad, but I don't think it is this time. Remember, Nintendo's just released Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii came out at the very end of last month, and Brawl is still selling well. Add to that the fact that Galaxy and other Nintendo games continue to have legs, and I think this is more indicative of Nintendo's flooding the system with a lot of AAA games in a short period. This shows in the fact that nineteen of the top thirty games in the month sold on a Nintendo system, so the PS2, PS3, 360, and PSP all had to split the remaining eleven slots between themselves. Nintendo's the 400 pound man that just cannonballed into the pool: it'll take a bit of time for the waters to settle again.
