Wii Software Sales Falling Behind Historic PS2 Levels
We’ve already reported on analysts Michael Pachter’s concerns about falling Wii software sales. Today, Gamasutra’s Matt Matthew’s wrote an excellent piece that crunches Wii software numbers and compares them to sales trends of both current and past systems.
The bottom line: despite having sold five million more consoles than previous leader PS2 had at this point in its lifecycle, Wii software sales are falling well behind PS2’s sale curve.
However, there’s a lot more to the story, so please head over to Gamasutra and check out the story.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
