| DMeisterJ said: I just found this article: http://www.gamecyte.com/eas-fiscal-2009-update-sales-down-cuts-imminent Apparently, the Wii is part of the problem because 2/3 of the sales on the Wii are first-party, something that hasn't happened since pre-PS1 days. Nintendo has Wii software sales on a stranglehold. Their own. |
I'm not sure I trust EA on that number. According to VGC data on the Worldwide Chart for the Week Ending 28th November 2008 (most recent week we have data), Nintendo published Wii games sold approx 3.77 million units. Total Wii software was 8.37 million units. That's 45 percent. Still very high, but not 2/3.
Does anyone know a way to total all Nintendo published Wii games? I had to add it myself for the week, and I don't want to go back and do that for all weeks. If we had that number, we could get the percentage for the life of the Wii. We already have total software for the Wii at 203 million units.
