Sigh, look at the data instead of just stating stupid nonsense please.

Wii Software in 2008: 94.7M

Ps3 software in 2008: 47.8M

Wii 1st party software in 2008: ~ 62.4M

Ps3 1st party software in 2008: ~ 8.5M

 

By this, we can get

Wii 3rd party software in 2008: 32.3M

Ps3 3rd party software in 2008: 39.3M

 

I may be wrong, but I have always that 39.3 was a bigger number than 32.3.

Considering the Wii had more than 80 million units of software sold last quarter your numbers are way off.  Either you didn't understand the charts posted in this thread, or you didn't read the quarterly report. 

 

I'm having a difficult time figuring out where you got those 1st party estimates from, Oyvoy.

Totalling the Japanese and American yearly numbers from VGC, Nintendo have sold 33.2M games so far this year, from 61.2M total in those 2 territories. So for your 1st party sales estimate for Nintendo to work, Nintendo would have had to sold 29.2M of the remaining 33.5M we can attribute to "others."

So I think your Wii 1st party 2008 estimate is probably a good 10M too high. Unless you can show where you pulled that 62.4M from.

For Sony, they have sold 4.28M of the 28.4M total software sold between Japan and America, which makes your 8.5M estimate reasonable when "others" is added.

 

Or, just looking at the NPD numbers up there in post 1...

Wii's slope is clearly greater than PS3's. It looks like Wii has sold roughly 18M third party software compared to 13-14M for PS3 in 2008 in the US. If Wii has a 4-5M edge in the US, that means in the rest of the world (and October), PS3's third party software would have had to outsell Wii's by 11M to reach your PS3 7M spread.
