| Coca-Cola said: The trends are obvious. When it comes to the best-selling games month after month, the Wii and the Xbox 360 dominate. Digging a little deeper, however, and you can begin to see why the 360 is so enticing to third-party developers: 25 of the 34 games the Wii put on the list were published by Nintendo itself. The Xbox 360, by contrast, charts many third-party games each month. Many different games. In almost every case where a multiplatform game was released on multiple consoles, the 360 version hit the charts while the PS3 version was either nowhere to be seen, or sold in far fewer numbers. While the fights taking place under the top ten list are largely invisible to the public, it wouldn't be a surprise if these trends continued when looking at the top twenty, or even the top thirty. Sony lacks the ability to chart a wide array of blockbusters, and the publishers know it. |
It may interest you to know that 26 of the top 34 games of all time are made by Nintendo
It looks like the mantra "only Nintendo games sell on Nintendo platforms" can be shortened to "only Nintendo games sell"
Anyway, the 360 is still doing well from its 1 year head start and 3rd parties expecting the Wii to flop, but the Wii has overtaken it in terms of games sold per month, it's attach rate is growing and it's gaining more marketshare. I don't doubt that it's doing well, but developers are moving over to the Wii now
