Man, that's a lot of good games right there. This really has been a great generation.

I didn't think it failed at first, but your thread gave me doubts.

Average lifetime sale is pretty good at 2.8 million for Sony exclusives. Sony did not have 10 million plus sellers that much so all low selling games put burden on medium selling games.

Who says Sony's exclusives don't sell well?

At jay520: You are right man. I buyed a Wii today ( because the last games i have buyed are all dissapointments in my eyes Hitman, Epic Mickey and PSBR ( yeah shocking i know since i am a hardcore ps3 fan)

And what did i buy.

Super Mario galaxy (Ninty)
Super mario Galaxy 2 ( Ninty)
Donkey Kong Country ( Ninty)
Mario Kart ( Ninty)
Sonic Clors ( Sega)
Zelda Twilight Princess ( Ninty)
Zelda skyward sword (Ninty)
Resident Evil Archioves (Capcom)
resident evil zero ( Capcom)

So as you can see more than 80% of the games i have byued are from ninty. why? because the rest is more or less shit. This are the only quality games the wii have in my eyes . Well i dont lioke Kirby and metroid but thats only personal taste.No wonder this games sell like hot cakes.
Whyle on the other hand x box 360 and PS3 have a lot of high selling quality games ( also from 3rd party ) thats also a reason that PS3 exclusives will have a much harder time to get the sales because of more competition on the same plattform.

Than lets not forget that PS3 biggest market is Europe. Europe has no black friday and christmas have a much smaller inpact sales wise in Europe than in USA. So with beeing the weakest competitor of the three in the US its only logical that ps3 will have a rader time to sell its exclusives. The videogame market is stronger in US than in Europe.

And another reason is that Nintendo has some very child appealing games. And thats a big market, specially during christmas time. Most of Sonys game are adult games.

I don't think price matters that much, if people want a game they'll buy it, regardless of price.
If people don't want a game, will a 50% off sale make them buy it? No.

Some if PSABR will end up with 1.5m+ sales by this time next year?
That's now even counting the Vita version...

Nah, no punching. It can be hard to keep track of all those games and all those numbers.  It's easy to be mistaken and everyone is from time to time.

No, perceived value is quite important. i.e. I won't pay $30 for that bird game on the 3DS. $3, sure.

Aren't you also saying Vita needs to drop the price to sell because people won't buy it at the current full retail price?

That said, it's much more important for games to sell well and early when it's still at full price. Nintendo just don't count. They play by different ruleset.

Hum for some odd reason I though that they was more new IP's. Guess this industry really relies on existing ip
