HOWEVER, the issue is that because they're bundled, people around here always assume that it means that software for the Wii, or various consoles is doing better than it is. Look at it this way: 4.5 million software units in the US are Wii Sports/Play - games that are either free or $10. People shouldn't extrapolate massive Wii s/w succuess due to the numbers being severely maligned. |
Well, that is true. However, that is the thing about statistics: you can spin them any which way you feel.
Look at the format war. You could say that HDDVD is winning, because it has sold more stand-alone players than BR has. Or, you could say that the PS3 counts as a BR player, and is, therefore, pummeling the competition. You and me both know that the reason many are backing BR is because of the PS3 is counted in the format war numbers. Its not like the PS3 owners have a choice, they get the BR moview playing capabilities.
The point is, you can spin almost anything to favor your argument, and there is nothing wrong with that.
