And then it stops making sense because that information isn't useful at all. You want to know which games people spend money on. Knowing which platform gives you little to no idea on what to make. There is a reason the HD consoles get floods of FPS, and the Wii gets floods of mini-games. It has nothing to do with how many games are bought for each system. Basing development decisiions on a piece of information that will be all but useless in a couple days (you know when the points are actually spent) if not less time is nothing short of retarded. You wait to see what sellls, and then decide.
