Well... the attach ratio and how well the Wii software sells (a lot lot more than the PS3) proves that that is not true.
=p
In fact, if you take into account the attach ratio of the Wii with that huge install base, compared to the PS3 install base and attach rate, a lot more people are playing the Wii than the PS3. |
SW: TFU, Madden '09 told me to say hello. PS3 outsells Wii in software even with its smaller userbase.
There may be exceptions, but the PS3 usually outsells the Wii in software... unless the software we're talking about is shovelware. So far, not many quality games sold well on Wii. Compare to PS3... and your statement is stright from dreamland.

This is factually incorrect, Xen. The Wii sells more software even considering the PS3's install base, not in spite of it: that is, if the Wii and PS3 had exactly identical install bases, the Wii would still have more software sold. The people arguing software sales are correct. The Wii has a better attach rate than the PS3 in America and Japan (and at times Europe, depending on who has just had a big game come out). If the Wii is a machine people only pull out occasionally, why does it sell so much software? |
I don't think anyone is arguing Wii sells loads of software. Its the type of software it sells. Mini games...wierd stuff like wii fit...
I think Sega is saying this with that statement...
Subtract wii sports, wii fit, wii play from wiis totals. Those games are somewhat board game like...does wii still sell most software then?

Let's not become elitists. Why should any game be removed from attach ratio? Are you and Xen implying only third parties make great software? The fact is that people play games on the Wii. No technicality can change that.
