If you consider the recent Nielson (spelling) study, the Xbox 360 is played about twice as much as the Wii in the United states per console. Since Nintendo games tend to have a longer life and the console is played less one would expect that from next year if software sales follow these trends that the Wii will pick up a lower % of software relative to the hardware market share percentage for the first time ever.
I know the current % of Wii hardware/software is ~1:1, but as the userbase ages I would expect this to fall more rapidly. As this is the real market third parties look at, it looks pretty obvious that the HD twins + PC will still recieve the bulk of attention from third parties even as the Wiis hardware market share goes above 50%.
Considered it and whats there to prove? That the 360 fanbase plays there system more? Good for them. Ain't going to change anything in the industry or position in the market.
Once again, Majority of console sales eventually turns the market over or will be a main influence on the next line of consoles to develop for. Comeon weve seen it since the 8 bit era, don't try to fool yourself now.
Wii is dead last, 360 is in first in the over 18 male demographic which is all that matters to me.
Well done on your narrowed views, have a cookie.
Just look at what types of games third parties are releasing on the Wii vs 360/PS3
Ok, OH SNAP HOUSE OF THE DEAD AND STREET FIGHTER 4 IN FEB? GO ME!
