Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii Software Stats April Update: The Rise Of ‘Call Of Duty’

In PAL regions the Legend of Zelda is still the top played game (per person)... but Smash Bros is breathing down it's neck, LoZ at 46.85 hours, SSBB at 45.62.

How does one acquire these stats from the Nintendo Channel?

Select "To The Videolist", then "Find Titles For You", then search by category from this screen:

Select a game from the list. You can see the game stats for the selected game when you scroll down within the game view or by clicking on the clock button on the right.

If anyone wishes to know any PAL figures.... PM me if you want me to email you a file, or ask on here if you want info for the odd game (like RE4 seems to be missing on the American chart, but PAL has it.

 

 I want it, may you post it?

Not the whole set... not just now anyway... ask if you want something specific.

Here are the top 6 in terms of average hours per owner though:

LoZ:TP - 46.85
SSBB - 45.62
Fire Emblem - 39.46
MKWii - 35.48
Animal Crossing - 33.54
Wii Sports - 33.02

Can you judge any sales from these numbers?

If you had all the numbers yes... but the numbers in the OP only include the average per person for hours and sessions.

You can determine a set of "sales" from the Nintendo channel using the total sessions divided by the average sessions... but I said "sales" because while they are 100% definate purchases, they are only inclusive of those who have given their data to the Nintendo Channel.

It is possible to find sales based on ratios and bias of certain genres by comparing with VGC though... but in reality DKII is the only one any good at it.

Basically this is the average hours table for all the games inclded on at least 1 PAL channel.... the "X" denotes that the average is using data from that region.... so games that have an "X" in all 8 columns are perfectly accurate for all owners of the game that use the Nintendo channel.

Games with a "0" don't have data for that specific region, which means it might not be entirely accurate for the whole of the PAL region... generally however as this is an average hours, the other regions would have a similar figure to what is included... which is why I included them all.... some games with only 1 or 2 regions included may be skewed though... for instance Naruto 2 only includes French data, and the game is popular in France more so than the UK... so it is likely if UK was added it would bring Naruto 2 down below Naruto 1 (hard to tell by how much though)

(Yes I know it is counter intuitive using "X" to mean included and "0" to mean excluded... but I had to add in the "0"s to avoid odd formatting issues.... the spreadsheet I have this in only has "X" and just blank for excluded regions... but copy/pasting messes the alignment up so I had to add in the 0s)

Oh and this is what the different regions are:

UK = UK and Ireland
FR = France
GE = Germany, Austria and Switzerland
BX = Benelux
SP = Spain
SC = Scandanavia (Swe/Nor/Den/Fin) + Portugal + Greece
IT = Italy
AU = Australia and New Zealand.



Damn, i can't believe Skate It is THAT much higher than Shaun White.

From what I have heard, Shaun White is great, but there isn't much content... which means you finish the game pretty soon, so replay value lies in repeating what you have already done.

Skate It clearly has more content.

Hmm... i picked up Wii Fit just for Shaun White but i haven't gotten around to buying it yet since i have other games to finish.  I might just get Skake It instead now.



I also have the same data for Wiiware, Virtual Console, and the Wii Channels.

As well as for the average sessions per person as well.... if anyone is interested.
