Greenberg isn't too far off the mark, thus far? The 360 is still the top platform for 3rd party software and as someone posted today, it is the top peerformer for rentals, with 7 of the top 10 titles in 2008...a year when Wii blew the doors off sales. Wii, is ofcourse the overall top console, but not necessarily from a 3rd party's perspective. The ps3...numbers don't lie...even if fanboys want to lie to themselves.

 

really? u agree with him. i believe that he is just a man who take pity on his own console by lashing on another. no matter what Sony or microsoft says the Wii is competition. in sales wise the Wii is the only true winner. microsoft can't even claim to have to the best games either after 2008. while i will say the 360 has great 3rd party but has the worst 1st party support of the big three.

As far as I knew the 360 kept up with wii in the software dept.  userbase of 45m but only 254m games sold, where as, 360 27m yet 214m games sold.  Looks to me that the wii has alot of catching up to do in terms of attach rate.  GEOW2 which Microsoft published has 4.3m in 9 weeks.  I'd say consumers believe in the publishing support of th 360(ie exclusives).

BTW I love Eddie Harris; the sax was my first love from about 9 years old.  I got about 14 years into it and really started to comprehend guitar.  You have to look at the notes to understand where the music is heading and if you don't get it, than...there is no way I can help you play jazz...check out "bad luck is all I have" and get it on lp if you can.

True. But how convenient for you to forget that the X360 had a 1.5 year (or whatever it was) headstart over wii in total software sales.

Sounds like something Greenberg will say.

 

 

I'm looking at 3rd party for 2008...360 is tops....not much debate there.

 

You weren't very clear in stating what sales you were refering to. I don't know the exact figures but I am not disputing that X360 is the 3rd party king.
