All he's doing is bragging about the success of the DS and using the DS as "Nintendo Hardware".

The Nintendo DS' ability to move 3rd party software has never been questioned.

This is just like Sony or it's fans thinking they did something good that one time the PS2 and PS3 combined outsold the Wii.

 

Read the article much?  18 third-party titles broke a million on Wii in 2008.

Oh, I read the article, and it's nothing but spin.

Let me ask this: Where those 18 million sellers on the Wii more than any other console? And, more importantly, what about total 3rd party software sales? Where these greater than any non Nintendo console? It looks to me like he's comparing Wii+DS, which is about a 150m install base, to consoles like the 360 or the PS3. That's the vibe I got from this article.

 

 

Woah, slowww down there, tiger.  First of all yes, he did say that third parties sold more on 'Nintendo hardware' than on other platforms.  You're right.  He ALSO said that 18 TP games broke a million on Wii this year.  That statement has NOTHING to do with DS.

Second, think about the argument you're trying to make: "Third parties don't sell on Wii because they sometimes sell better on other platforms."

There's so much bull there that I don't even know where to begin.
