Console sales and open big

January 11th, 2008

Anyone remember the big debate about how “open big” virtual worlds grow, and how they develop a scalloped edge based on holiday sales and territories, etc?

Check out VG Chartz’ data on “Hardware Sales From Launch” for the different consoles. There’s the curve I know! :) Of course, this cumulative sales, so you will never see it decline, you’ll just see slowing growth…

    I also found it extremely interesting that the PS3 and the 360 curves almost perfectly overlap.
