And yet you provide numbers including digital sales while the OP only has numbers pertaining to physical sales. |
I don't see that anywhere in the title or original post.
Also, why wouldn't digital sales matter?

Yeah at $5 or less, no one buys steam games in regular season, everyone waits for the sales.
Also this is physical, unless you have phsyical pc sales you are comparing apples and oranges. Learn how to make a proper comparison and come back.

And yet there is PC data in the thread along with the topic being in gaming discussion, why the hell can he not talk about any sort of PC data, why the is that somehow never allowed on here?, it's only seemingly allowed when it benefits the other party. As if no one here ever shits on PC at all, that's complete bs.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

This thread is about physical sales because it is using VGChartz data. VGChartz does not track digital data, therefore that is what it is about. Furthermore, PC transcends generations due to the inability to really say which games sold from which generation. So please stop derailing this thread. |
Good points.

This is nothing compared to what happens on xbox threads.

| Megaoverlord12 said: Nintendo handhelds often have surprisingly low software to hardware ratios, largely because people who buy Nintendo handhelds largely only buy Nintendo games even on the DS, which had a tie in ratio around 5 games per system. PlayStation and Xbox gamers traditonally buy far more third party games, so the writing was on the wall. Congrats, I guess. |
thats not Nintendo handhelds, its handhelds in general. Look at Gamegear, PSP, Vita attach ratios.

Very true, I'll admit to not noticing that. I know that a very large demographic for handhelds are kids who buy the latest Pokemon or whatever and that's it, but I can't fathom only having 4 3DS games or 5 DS games.

Because using units sold when talking about PC sales is super misleading. The same goes for mobile games.
In fact only revenue should be compared when talking about different ecosystems (home consoles, handhelds, PC, mobiles, etc.).

i think alot of it is due to families with multiple kids may each have their own handheld but share games.
also having multiple revisions means people are more likely to double dip than on consoles. for example alot of Gameboy owners probably bought Pocket or Color later on. alot of GBA owners upgraded to SP. alot of DS owners upgraded to Lite then later to DSi. many 3DS owners may have upgraded to XL then to New.
