Forums - Sales - Why do you care so much about console sales?

I do not see you making money out of it unless you are ioi the owner of this site.

The only people who make money out of console sales are the corporations: Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony.

I know ioi makes money from the site from the sales of consoles and video games purchased from VGChartz directly and through the advertisements of Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft products on this site. More traffic means more sales revenue from the site.

I wonder if there are anyone on here other than ioi, the site creator. who can claim they do make money from console sales and well they would care. But if not, i wonder why people care so much about the console sales. How does it affect your life?

So people why do you care so much about console sales?

I hate seeing people getting so serious over the sales numbers. It is not like the world is coming to an end.

wow.  Where are we again?

 



Because if the console you own does not sell well it means you could have less third party game support, IE you get less games on your system.



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

because Nintendo is winning



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Well... this is mainly a sales website. So, you care about sales...

At first, all PS3 fanboys cared about sales, etc... but just when they realized that the PS3 and PSP will never catch the Wii and DS, they suddenly stopped caring about the sales.

He does make a point, the way some people respond on these boards you think they were the CEO of SONY, MS or Nintendo, of course we are on VG vhartz which is a Console gaming sight.  I decided to give him/her the benefit of the doubt

because unlike the film industry game quality is still measurable by sales

That golden rule does not always apply. GTA IV, FF XIII, etc are only on PS3 and X360. The Wii should have those games too if that was the case as well as a version of every popular game series because the Wii has sold double the amount of PS3 and X360 combined.
