I had been planning on posting a chart with the top 5 games on the platforms regardless or release date to make it more relevant to what the companies care about, but now I have decided what the companies really care about is total software sales, so I will also start posting the total software sales for the Oct-Dec period weekly.
| Console | Total software during holidays | Percent of top 5 of total sales |
| Wii | 9,647,363 | 24.90 |
| PS3 | 8,910,371 | 46.52 |
| Xbox 360 | 8,440,085 | 36.08 |
This shows that as you would expect being the market leader is in the lead with total software during the period, although not by that much so far. I thought it was very interesting to see the breakdowns for how much of total software sales, the top 5 titles released during Oct-Dec make up. So the PS3 is dominating the contest that this thread is looking at, but when you see that those 5 titles make up nearly 50% of it's total software sold during the period it is less surprising.
Note: I'm not including Wii Sports in the Wii software totals.
