My goal here wasn't trying to define a console by its Million Sellers, but to try and define the console's demographic. To say that these titles are the only ones to define Wii (or in my other threads, that they define 360 and PS3) would be a huge disservice to each console.

There's amazing games on each console that haven't hit a million copies sold. If you're curious to see each console's recommended games, I'd check each forum page for their respective threads. I also hear the Wii Recommendation Guide is pretty awesome.

Yeah, but the thing is that most of what you get  is what your system sells the most. At least I think so.

I don't need another console, too much unfinished games already. :)

Ps.

The link on your sig does not work, at least for me.

YAY! Thank you!

Now that's quite interesting.

i fully expect to be banned for putting this in writing but these threads just seem to reaffirm the console sterotypes: wii as the kiddy console, 360 as the shooter box, ps3 with no identity.

No surprise here.  Totally different demographic than HD consoles.  Wii gamers want fun whereas HD gamers appear to want violence (which is also fun).

It's pretty obvious that M games don't sell well on Wii.  Say what you will.  Sure better quality M titles would sell better than the stuff Wii usually sees here but still, the M crowd in general clearly isn't on this system nor will they be.

But the reverse is also true.  Mature gamers and parents who don't care for violent games clearly aren't on HD consoles.

If this is what you got from my threads, then I must have done something wrong.

This is my reasoning for doing these threads (from the 360 Edition thread):

"I just thought of this subject every time I hear someone generalize a console's top selling games.

360's just a shooter box!
Wii? Haha, only kids play games on that!
PS3 can't sell any games!

etc. etc. etc.

Just because a console has a certain demographic, doesn't mean it should be looked down on. So I thought I'd make a list of the million sellers and break them down, so we can see what's really going on."

...

Looks like you pretty much nailed the three generalizations Kitler, but at least you were mean to all three of them.

The distance between "Wii Mature's 1million sellers" are not that that hard away for the PS3 mature's sellers.

The distance is pretty close to 10-15 titles.

20 titles, actually. I guess ps3 and wii are virtually tied in sales numbers then?

Nice work man. Thats quite an interesting read looking through those threads.

20 titles seems a little bit bigger, but anyways, i think with 20 "mature" titles is enough for many people when it comes to a gaming generation.
