this might be one of the reasons that people seem to think 3rd parties do poorly on the wii. only 24.94 million out of 119.4 million sellers are non nintendo games. and if you takne out games with mario in the title (how many companies outside of N get to use him) it lowers it to 19.5. that hurts 3rd parties, its great for nintendo though
even if wii sports&play are removed it still looks bad with non nintendo games 24.94 out of 76.28 better bust still not as good as 360 or ps3
on the 360 non ms games make up 68.23 out of 94.9
on the ps3 non sony titles make up 22.37 out of 35.2 million sellers
*note on numbers this dose not include american numbers for week ot sep 7th 2008 as they have not been added
now this is not nesisarly a bad thing for Nintendo they make lots of money of of hardware and first parties. it just means 3rd parties have a hard time getting attention, and it is easier to get recognision on the other hardware
@naza true about 3rd party losses, but alot of that is from mergers and intelectual property buys for stuff that wont be out for years, combined with reducuing head count, which helps in the long term but kills in the short term. they are setting up for the future so as long as investors play along no harm no faul. i expect mergers to continue for another 2 years, fallowed by growth of new studios it will be intersting because they could determine where gaming goes until they are bought out
