Rayman is exclusive to the Wii? That's news to me!

 

Second, crappy 3rd party games sell horrible? I'd say all 3rd party games sell horrible.

Rayman - Wii - 375,250
Rayman - 360 - wtf? no sales data?

madden - 360 - 1,554,750 - 70%
madden - PS3 - 335,250 - 15.2%
madden - Wii - 311,250 - 14.1%

NFS: Carbon - 360 - 512,000 - 62%
NFS: Carbon - PS3 - 185,500 - 22.5%
NFS: Carbon - Wii - 128,250 - 15.5%

360 - 5,692,750 - 63% total
Wii - 2,107,500 - 26.8% total
PS3 - 1,160,500 - 13% total

Total next gen consoles: 8,960,750

Why on next gen multiplatform game sales... is the Wii at the bottom? The percents mean alot. Becuase the Wii has almost double the sales. It should at least be BETTER than PS3. 

Rayman excist on the PS2 also...I have a question here why do we keep looking at the games that Wii has that has sold bad (and NFS is crap on Wii)? Xbox360 is clearly selling more software than Wii, but as I pointed out in the other 3rd party thread, that isn't the case for PS3 however. Why did we chose NFS as the second title? Why no CoD3 Wii that has outsold the PS3 version, or even more important why aren't we looking at the whole picture. I posted this before in another thread as usuall the "3rd party doesn't sell on Wii crowd" ingnored the post:

If Wii 3rd party sales is bad than what is it for PS3? An exclusive game as RR7 has only sold 98500 copies meanwhile an exclusive game on Wii, Red Steel has sold 335k, and that is only one of the Wii exclusives that has sold more. Even a low budgett game as Trauma Center has sold more than RR7.

This stupid mantra, 3rd party doesn't sell on Wii, starts to get on my nerv. Because the simple fact that they do. Even the damn quick cash in seems to sell. Or what do you say about Rampage: Total Destruction, a quick GC port, selling 95500. Yes only 3k less than RR7. Which game do you think cost the most to do?

This games will be mediocre because Wii is week is also an opinion not a fact. You don't need Unreal 3 to do nice looking games, but of course you are a part of the Sony Defense (happy Ben?) Force and can't understand that.

Damn this post sounds so childish that I can't stand it myself, but honestly read the numbers and then state the truth or don't be a part of the discussion. The truth so far is that 3rd partys is anouncing new 3rd exclusivs for Wii not PS3. Might that be because of the good software sales on Wii? Or do you actuly think that 3rd parties would support Wii if their sales was bad?

To end the discussion let me post the same thing I have said before to you:

3rd party software on Wii (USA): 3 games above 300k, 3 games above 200k, 5 games above, 100k

3rd party software on PS3 (USA): 1 game above 300k, 1 game above 200k, 6 games above 100k

Or why not: Total software sales on PS3 (that is all publishers including Sony) = 2,684,750

3rd party software sales on Wii (only 3rd parties, no Nintendo) = 3,346,250.

Why should any 3rd party make games for PS3?

If you should have the discussion as above, mention xbox360 and PC because PS3 isn't selling anything at all.

EDIT: I don't belive you will answer this post Hus but it would be nice if you would do that, mayby explain why Wii is such a bad choice or something!

Well Hus never answered, mayby you can Kwaad.
