Well so what if the nintendo games are tracked well? I thought that the problem was with the tracking of some 3rd party titles.

 

Yes, that chart is indeed for the first 23 months from each platforms launch. Wii is ahead, barely. That is one way to spin numbers. :) Raw numbers are still about 125 million for 360 and 63 million for wii WW. You could also spin them few other ways. For example, you could count how much third parties have sold after the wii launch. 360 wins that by a mile. Or how about how much third parties have sold after wii passed 10 million install base in US? :)

 

@Bold.  No, they are not.  I just provided the raw numbers above by multiplying the attach ratio numbers by the install base.

You want raw numbers with factual basis, there you go.  Stop trying to marginalize them.

 

We could also use the figures from Nintendo's financial report.  230 million total.  Using the same 1st to 3rd party ratio as used in the origin al article would yield a total of 130 million in 3rd party sales. Even more than the 110 million given in my intital calculation.

 

But go ahead and try and persuade us the Wii only has 63 million in 3rd party sales.  We know the truth.

 

 

 

So if you multiply wii-consoles sold WW with US attach rate, you will get the "raw numbers"?  Then you want to use nintendo's shipped figures which include wii sports which is not included in NPD numbers. That is really, really sad.

Uh, what?

 

 

Actually they do not inclde Wii Sports... Wii Sports is shipped inside the box for the Wii, which doesn't get counted as an additional game in their shipped software figure except for Japan where it is not bundled.
