Exactly... if we ask how many of the games that people own are not first and second party... then we'll get a very low percentage of third party games.

That just shows that multiplaformal games released on the GCN are ussually inferior to the other console... I guess GCN owners would buy quality third party exclusives... but for those exclusives to come it would have to hold a much greater marketshare.

Also have you seen the tendency of X-Box gamers to pick up third party games. But that's mostly because they get the best versions with exclusive content.

I myself bought SSX, so I could be bother to get SSX Tricky or SSX 2 when it comes out. I bought Tony Hawk 3 so I have no plans on getting Tony hawk 4. These games are just to damn similiar and I played the hell out of them.
