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. |
Given the DS's install base, though, I wish there were more games you could point to as being ultra-defining evidence in core-game success by 3rd parties. NSMB is the best example of it, IMO, but it's Nintendo. I've always been against the 'DS can't move 3rd party games' for the past 2 years...But it'd be nice to see the list a bit more spread out at the top, too :-p
And yes, it'd be nice to get a more definitive list of million-sellers for the DS, and any older system. VGC data is only reliable for the past few months for million sellers...Because I can think of quite a few X360 games that are million sellers, or near it that lack data - And one can only imagine how much worse the DS's case is, given the fact it's had more games out, for a longer period of time.
Of course, I'm the niche DS owner guy that just doesn't get why people don't buy games like Lock's Quest or DQIV in the West.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
