| ZS said: Take away first party from all the big three, how well would the 3 current consoles be selling? Sony and Microsoft will be doing just fine but Nintendo, who relies heavily on their first party games, won’t do well as their third party support hasn’t been great over previous gens. Now, put back in first party and take third party away, Nintendo and Sony will do just fine, but Microsoft, wouldn’t do as well as their first party support hasn’t been great this gen compared to previous gens. It’s like Sony is a balanced seesaw of first and third party support while the other two leans all the way on each end. Sony’s mastered the art of gaming for everyone. Hopefully the series x and Microsoft’s acquisitions helps boost Xbox’s first party support next gen. Xbox needs games that make people go, oooh I’m interested in this game, I’ll get an Xbox, not oooh, I’m interested in this game, I’ll get it on PC even though it’s also on Xbox. (it’s a win win for Microsoft but a win lose for Xbox) I believe that Xbox could be around 60-65m if their games stayed full exclusive or released on pc a couple years after each game launch. |
Sony would struggle to sell 25 million units if you took their third party games away, don't kid yourself. No COD, no GTA, no Final Fantasy, no NBA 2K, no FIFA, no Madden, no Red Dead = game over.
