I don't think any game this generation has been a huge system mover (even a juggernaut like Halo 3). People were way too optimistic about the effect MGS4 would have on PS3 sales. |
Uhm WiiSports? WiiFit?
The Source: Yeah you're probably right. The problem for Sony here is that the next 5+ million seller might come (but GTA isn't even there yet, so it will take a long time), but it won't get much of the smaller sellers which are pretty important too. If companies like Hudson stop developing for your console you essentially lose a part of your potential market. At the current pricepoint that not such a big deal, but at $100,- lower a broad library (including what the hardcore gamers call crap) is essential to push your console into the big sales numbers (like PS2 and Wii had loads of these "average" games, they sell).

WiiSports is packaged in NA and Others. And the Wii basically sells out every week, so sales aren't dependent so much on what game has been released, but on how much Nintendo can supply. Saying that WiiFit gave the Wii a boost in console sales is like saying GTA4 gave the Wii a boost in sales (didn't sales of the Wii double that week?).

WiSports is packaged? That has absolutely nothing to do with it. You said that no game this generation has been a system seller. WiiSports IS the system seller. Probably the best system seller ever. That game is the main reason the Wii sells out every week, it doesn't sell out because it's Wii.
