NOTES:
Madden is no longer an anomalous success - Multiple properties match its sales
The PS2 is far from dead - Huge install base leads to more cheaper price games for mass market.
Consumers are looking for more Wii Sports - sports games like baseball and golf sell more on Wii.
Exclusives still rule, and Wii rules exclusives - 11 exclusives for Wii (12 including RE4), similar for DS, X360 and PS3 not so close.
The common knowledge still applies - Million dollar exclusives, license properties, inexpensive games for Wii and DS(needs to strike a chord with audience though); make money.
