Seece, you seem to forget that the 360 had a one year lead over the other systems. The Wii will be adding many million sellers over the holiday season, both from old games whose legs will be picking up and new games being launched. Back in 2005 and 2006 (up until the Wii and PS3 launch), the 360 was the only "next gen" home console. This meant that it was the only place to get the "next gen" experience, so its hardware sales and, consequently, software sales were very high. And if Nintendo and Sony have proven anything with their respective successful systems, it's that ANYTHING can be a million seller. Not too many people would have expected Rugrats to sell over 3 million on the PS1, but it did.

 

Very true, I don't expect 360 to end up with the most million sellers and if I'm honest I havn't really taken a look at what games are coming out for the wii that could hit a million, what I will say is I don't think the bulk of 360 software sales came from its first year, hey I might be wrong.

Even though the 360 launched a year earlier the wii is now far ahead, why cant the same be said about software sales? its only recently passed 360's software sales total 169M>151M yet still so many million sellers behind.

EDIT- Just had a look at 360 software sales after one year release and its around 20 million, 20 million in one year. the other 130 million and from the last two years.

The thing is these charts weren't tracking a lot of 360 games in the beginning of its release. So i think it would have more. Just look at some early 360 games and u wll seee that Others numbers are missing for quite a few games.
