I am laughing too because Wii hasn't had a AAA software release for almost a year and it still sells like hotcakes. Software must not matter that much...

 

 

That might make some kind of sense if the Wii wasn't still topping the software charts. But since it is, that just demonstrates that the software really is that good.

 

 What software? Mario KArt Wii, smash bros and Wii Fit are great yes...but anything else that came out in the last year that sold well? And 1 million in sales is great but really nothing that people should marvel at considering Wiis huge userbase...

I should have been more clear in my last post, I mean the pie chart which represents the software market, not the top ten which represents the most sensational part of the software market. All software, not just a couple cherry-picked titles. American software totals for '09 so far:

Software Totals:

Console	Year	Total
	30,182,143	172,345,613
	27,252,703	185,590,745
	19,148,970	169,297,160
	10,853,375	66,079,463
	5,403,992	70,798,538
	4,553,386	177,156,282
	26,708	10,581,826
Total	97,421,277

Supposedly there were no titles worth owning released in this period, but the Wii still moves more software than 360 and PS3 combined on an install base which is smaller than 360 and PS3 combined. Like I said earlier, arguing sales is pointless.
