I think congrats goes to 360, being less than 1% behind Wii in these "core" games and yet having a nearly 40% deficit in consoles sold. Pretty danmed impressive if you ask me. Given the inherent innacuracy in game sales data the difference between 360 and Wii is not statistically significant and it is equally possible that 360 has a slight lead over Wii.
PS3 doing pretty dang well also: at way less than 50% of Wii consoles sold it is far in excess of 50% in this top 10 core games comparison.
If anything this data shows Nintendo is not acheiving the kind of sales in core games that one would expect from a console with such a large install base. I.e. both PS3 and 360 WILL have better core game sales if/when they get to 50 million install base.
It is simply nuts to compare software sales in an absolute sense between systems that have vastly different install bases. The only time this sort of comparison is noteworthy is when the system with a lower install base is doing as well or better in absolute game sales than the system with the higher install base. Hence my first comment about how impressive the 360 is according to your definition and data.
The only lesson here is that PS3 really needs to pull finger and sell more consoles, if it does then it will sell many and more games. Sony has probably learned the lesson, but lacks the ability to pull finger right now. But is this news to anyone? |
you do realize this is Nintendo only games, not third party at all. As others said there are a bunch of games that have sold more than some of these games that aren't on the list cause not nintendo made.
so this just shows that NINTENDO only is above the best games on the other two systems. not surprising by looking at software totals each week and unless some game comes out that sells a million or something then NINTENDO is on top.

Yeah, we all know nintendo is great and their games sell alot more than others, but its not for everyone and for the people like me and others the best games are on the ps3/360, thats why there are 3 consoles in the market, and the data expressed here demostrates that, so nothing we didnt know.

how does the data here represent anything. it doesn't show what games are the top sellers on the other consoles, just the total. It doesn't list any third party games on Wii. All this list is showing is how insane NINTENDO's 1st party software is.
yes i know if your a fps fan, there are more options on other consoles and what else you might want to say, but this topic doesn't prove or show anythign of that nature. The only thing this data shows is that more people love nintendo games than any other game.
