Just some interesting statistics of ps3 and wii buying habits.

more than 16 million AAA ps3 games have been sold, more than 90 percent ratio.

only ~22 million AAA wii games have been sold. roughly 60% ratio compared to the install base

What did you use to classify games as "AAA"?

I'd bet the leader tends to be on the lower end like that in all gens. Curious what the PS2 v GC/Xbox would look like.

edit: I get what you meant now. Nvm anyway, since reviewers loved GTA the PS2 has no trouble there...

Really, I guess a game like Mario Kart is not AAA because well it sold like 10 millions. AAA is a made up word. AAA is killer app in my book and it makes people buy more systems and sell through the roof like Sumeer movie blockbusters. So no LBP is not AAA because it didn't do any of that but Mario Kart is AAA.

 

 

 This.

Even with mario kart that only makes 32m.

If we are going to start deciding for ourselves what counts as a AAA game without using some kind of actual system then we are going to be getting anywhere. But I'm sure that is the point of arguing this simple little interesting tidbit.

If you think we should include MKWii, which, IMO is not as good as DD or 64 except for graphics and controls. They did away with supermoves.....

If you think we should include that, then we should include ps3 games that should have beat 90, drakes, ratchet and the orange box. Which would put ps3 AAA games at 26 million, which equals an average of 1.33 AAA games per console and leaves wii with .8 AAA games per console

This was meant to be just an interesting fact about what kind of games system owners buy, thanks for raising the shields as always.

This.
