If you look at something like the Playstation, or almost any console - They usually aren't very top-loaded when it comes to big sellers. The Playstation 1 had plenty of SEC-published titles in the Top-10. Difference was/is that it was peppered with similarly-selling 3rd party titles. So have most systems...Even the N64 had great 3rd party successes in Goldeneye 007 which *was* N-published, but was certainly a Rare title. Again, I'm not trying to say "OMG, only Nintendo games sell on the DS" but it's more again to 'only Nintendo games sell incredibly well" - That's not to take away the decent bit of 3rd party successes and million sellers. *Hopefully* DQIX can break this trend of poor-selling 3rd party games and catapult a good title up on the DS list for fastest-selling and biggest games on the system. |
That pretty much applies to the entire industry. There's Nintendo and then there's everyone else, people are just using Nintendo's exclusivity to their own platforms to make arguments that don't work.
But personally I found the entire DS vs. 360 million seller comparison to be sort of asinine since there's a huge amount of untracked DS sales. There are a lot of million sellers on that list missing and it changes in an instant when ioi gets around to updating.
