So we have to assume that a system that has a 7 million unit install base can't sell software? Why is it that the Wii has no issues in virtually every other country for 3rd party sales

What's there to assume? We know it can sell software because it does. You're just cherry picking one or two titles, ignoring the situation and making asinine blanket statements. Tenchu didn't sell on the 360, DS or PS2. I therefore declare that these platforms can't sell 3rd party games. Why is it that these consoles have virtually no issues in every other contry for 3rd party sales? Clearly something is wrong with these platforms, since none of them could sell Tenchu.

Hey everybody I just pulled a stickball!

That's fine then. What about the fact that 13% of total software sales are 3rd party? It's not like that's an invalid comparison, even if you take Tenchu out of the equasion.

What about the fact that 13% of 3rd party software is worth playing? DS faced a similar situation with 3rd party support and trolls were saying the exact same thing. Let's ignore that a lot of DS 3rd party games weren't worth playing for over a year, and pretend that it's a problem with the hardware.

Did I make ANY specific software comparison between the PS2/XB/GC? No. Find a quote in this section, because I didn't. My comparison of the last-gen system was merely based on hardware trends: in 2003 hardware sales were down, but that didn't effect 3rd party sales. So why would that change now?

I never said you did make specific software comparisons, but it's a pretty silly move to try and compare the two generations based on hardware sales at the time when PS2 had a monopoly on 3rd party software. There was no problem with the software sales because all of the software was on PS2 and everyone had a PS2. The situation is hardly the same. What type of lies are you trying to weave? That generation wasn't that long ago, it's not like someone's going to stumble in here and forget that a lot of smash hits were released in 2003.
