Why are we excluding Japan? Especially FFXIII, where it will sell 1-2 million units in week 1.

Fair question. The reason why Japan-only exclusivity is excluded is because we are trying to track global trends and Japan is just too small on its own to affect the global behavior (less than 5% of the weekly sales of the 360 + PS3) .

 

Fair enough.  My point was that this does not apply to FFXIII where it will sell as much in Japan as in the other regions.

 

Yes, but in this thread we attempt to evaluate the HW platform success based on 3rd party support. Not the software sales of those titles.

 

Then doesn't this totally contradict your rule about whether or not a games is released on the Wii.

If a game is on the Wii, the console leader, that kills any HW advantage the 360 or PS3 would have for that title.
