@Garcian Like I said its possible, the wii may currently have better exclusives at the time, but the PS3 does have better games though not all of them are exclusive, but shared with the XBOX360. There are Tons of 1st and 2nd party games that are likely being worked on for the ps3, when it comes to 1st party sony has the most games to offer, there are still tons of ip from the ps2 era that havent made the jump to the ps3. So by 2009(FF XIII, GT5, Heavy rain, and more to be announced) ps3 will have very BIG system sellers, but again this is all assumptions. |
Sony has more to offer in terms of 1st party games than Nintendo, of all companies? I... don't think so.
Also, while FFXIII and GT5 may move systems when they're respectively released, I think the fact that the PS3 on MGS4's launch week only barely beat the Wii, when the Wii had no big releases and is still supply constrained, should be an indicator that hardcore system-sellers will not push the PS3 above the Wii, period.
Finally, you're listing Heavy Rain as a system-seller? An adventure game by a company that's only made two ambitious-but-flawed adventure games in the past? Again, I don't think so.
Re the prediction: Anyone around December 2007 could have calculated that the Wii is guaranteed to sell at least 40 million by the end of 2008.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
