Forgot about Gran Turismo. Everything else sold under 10m, which would not be considered "big" by today's standards. However PS1 hardware numbers are considered big by today's standards. PS1 didn't sell on the power of a few huge hits. It sold by having a huge library of games. Don't count out the power of those mid-tier games. I'm not saying that Switch doesn't need first party games. It does, and it will have them. I'm just saying don't discount the power of those mid-tier third party games. They sell systems all on their own if there are enough of them. When a big game releases there is a huge, immediate sales spike, but if you step back and look at the big picture, you'll see having a huge library of mid-tier games is important to selling a system. People don't want to just play a few big titles a year with nothing in between. Those mid-tier games can be system sellers too if there are enough of them. |
Again, I was referring to those big games we both agree are necessary. No More Heroes 3 and the like don't qualify.
