The 360 a software monster? The Wii a software wimp? I don't think so...

unfortunately this graphic suffer form the same thing all like it suffer from the inability to remove bundled software from all platforms, and no way to track used game sales.


nice try though always a fun time with graphs

Used games don't make money for publishers or developers.

I already explained why I think Wii Sports should be included.

Your opinion doesn't matter any more than his does.  Taking Wii Sports out in one graph and leave it in on the other.  Do some experimenting... use only 3rd party titles or only first party titles...

 

Used game sales are only important to Gamestop.  New software sales are important to developers and publishers.  That is not really an opinion.  However, I think I will be changing the desciption on the graph to read WBP New Software in the future to avoid this argument.

Leaving out the bundled software would skew the graphs much higher, and I don't think that would be very representative of the real picture.  That bundled software gets played, and while the consumer plays it, they are not going to buy anything else.

I do like the idea of doing this for first and third parties, however, that probably would happen until I get more time on my hands.
