Be more interesting to see what % of each rating reach a million on each system.

 

I mean if there are only say 10 mature games total on Wii, how can it be expected to have 15 million mature sellers.

 

Be nice to see what % of E rated games reach a million for each console

What percent of E10 games reach a million on each conosle

What percent T...  You get the picture.

If 90% of games on Wii are rated E, no duh the % of million sellers are going to be mostly E rated.  If 90% of games on 360/ps3 are rated M, no duh most million sellers are going to be rated M.  So this study doesn't really help in seeing the overal picture.   regardless of quality of game, if the 360 has 50 mature games, and Wii has only 10, then the 360 will most likely have more mature games that reach a million.  be more insightful to see what percent of each genre on each console reaches a milion.  That is better. 

 

Now you look and see Wii has what like 5 mature games that reach a million.  But is that 5 out of 50, 5 out of 10?  What is that.  Big difference if 50% of all mature games reach 1 million versus 10%.

That would be very interesting and very cool if someone did that. Of course, that someone would never be me.

Man, I'm just getting a headache from thinking about how much work that would take.

But it is an interesting point, that with %, each console is on equal terms. For example, Wii has 17 "T" games that have sold over a million, while PS3 has 20. Now, they're not too far apart, but since Wii has more total Million Sellers, Wii's % is at 20% while PS3's is at 33%.

@SenorTaco

That's a very interesting point. That's one of the points I want to talk about when everything is said and done.

don't think woudl take too much work.  you already have half the work done.

You have how many million sellers in each genre for each system, such as 17 teen for wii and 20 teen for ps3.

just need to see hwo many TOTAL teen games there are for the wii and how many total teen games for ps3.  so just have ot find a site that has all games listed for each system and  a simple rating filter.

then would be able to see that say X% wii teen games reach million or 17/X and X% ps3 games reach a million or 20/X.  same for 360
