Nice, PS3 needs to catch up, if the x360 didnt have multi plats it'ld be a hell of a lot less, Wiis doing well, if it had HQuality multiplats it would have more million sellers than the 360.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Good stuff. Why did you leave out PSP and DS games?

Console wise, Wii Sports, Play and Fit are obviously peripherals and not games and hence shouldnt count.

That said, i am surprised at how strongly 360 is still doing. i expected Wii to have more million sellers by now.

Why not include handheld games? All of the numbers are there for you. I mean, certainly New Super Mario Bros. is a more important game than Halo 3. Brain Age and Brain Age 2 have done more for handheld gaming than Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty 5 have done for console gaming. Pokemon is the most important and most popular RPG this generation (except maybe WOW). No console RPG is even half as popular.

I didn't know the DS was a part of the home console war. Quit your whining, and shut up.

The title of the thread does not specify anything about consoles. Nowhere in the OP does it explain why handheld games aren't being included. It's a valid question to ask. Also don't tell people to shut up. See you in 7 days.

Why does that matter at all? If the PS3 didn't have multiplats it would have a hell of a lot less too. Contrary to popular belief, it's not all about exclusives as some people seem to think.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

the list shows how weak nintendo releases were last fall/winter.
wii music and animal crossing just couldn't add up to mario party 8 and galaxy.

franchise domination also here: guitar hero, call of duty, GTA, Lego, Wii. seems like a minority of original IPs.

Great sales this gen is going nicely.
