Is the sales argument even relevent?

The sales argument is basically more sales = better games on that system, however I see little evidence of this. The Wii has sold what 40 mil, yet its not exactly swimming in AAA titles and certainly is not pwning the 360 and PS3 in terms of games.

The same can be said 360 vs PS3: infact it could be argued that with all the upcoming titles in the next year the PS3 is infact ahead in terms of games although it lags behind in sales.

In conclusion, unless I have overlooked a key point I would argue that the sales argument is not relevent.

Thoughts?

Yes but like my examples there is really no difference in game quality between the systems although the sales are quite different. There are twice the number of Wiis for example compared to the PS3 but are there twice the amount of good games on the wii compared to the PS3 I would argue not.

lol its because cows used sales to death last gen funny to see it flipped on them and see them scramble for new arguments.yoyo462001

Yeah, however, it's not even the same sales difference.

The 360's lead isn't impressive, especially considering the 1 year no competition head start it got (I think the 360 leads in the 6 million range?It's unclear).

When all is said and done, both systems will probably be the same in a few years.

The PS2 vs. Xbox, which you brought up, was crazy. The PS2 had outsold the Xbox by more than 120 million units. That's nuts.

Everybody? Bad idea to make blanket statements like that.

I'm not sure the sales argument is truly valid at this time, since the target audiences are different between the 360/PS3 and Nintendo. So far this gen, MS and SOny have had little interest in expanding their target consumer audience past the adult gamers who prefer for mature titles, RPGS, FPS and action games. Nintendo by offer less intense experiences, more family friendly games, and trying to be more inclusive with the motion controller is trying to expand financially, but also to bring videos games to new generations. Sometimes it looks like MS and Sony are just catering to the established gamers.

I loathe the terms "hardcore" and "casual", but I think aspects of those fit into this argument.
