Do you really think that developers care if a platform has sold more games in the first 23 months from launch? I think they care how the games are selling now and more importantly, what kind of games are selling.

 

Of course they care.  Month 23 ended, like, yesterday.  And good games take two years or more to develop most of the time, which means that the games that come out next holiday were being decided on based on the first 13-15 months of those graphs.

It's hugely important, which is why the console makers talk about it constantly.

 

For 360 that month 23 ended one year ago. I really doubt that devs are looking in to that number rather than the current numbers.
