Sorry... I was just using a few numbers to confirm the approximate 1st:3rd party ratios.
Perhaps you have seen them, but a few threads were put up with graphs about 3rd party sales in the USA recently.... because Nintendo released a graph showing total game sales (in USA, according to NPD) for the first 19 months of each console.... then a second graph with just 3rd party sales in forst 19 months.... And MS responded with some other numbers.
Actually ther was (in my opinion) a more interesting bit of info which came from Pachter.... he stated that so far in USA, in 2008 (Jan-June I assume) 3rd party sales have been 13 million for Wii and 16 million for X360.
Now considering that most of Jan-June the X360 still had a userbase advantage, as well as the huge sales of GTAIV (over 3 million in themselves) this means Wii 3rd party is keeping up really well with 360 3rd party.... and that's against Nintendoes huge 1st party hits too!
