There's one I remember from last year, and I think you watched that one alongside me, Kenology: Nintendo published NPD stats that showed third party games do sell well on the Wii with a software sold by aligned launch graph, but lumped 1st party in with 3rd party, which caused gaming media commentators everywhere to call Nintendo out for distorting the facts, and demand to see what the same chart looked like with the first party sales removed. Nintendo responded by separating out the first party sales, which still put the Wii's third party sales over the 360's, which caused gaming media commentators everywhere to change their argument to that the Wii hadn't sold as much software as the 360 in terms of LTD, instead of aligned by launch.

That was Alexander Sliwinski's post from Joystiq - I remember that all too well and I remember you and I talking about it.  I'm still looking for the link to that one so I can add it.

Found 'em both.

I'll let you explain that one in more detail when you edit the main post.

Thanks, Ken!  I couldn't find those for the life of me...

Will update the OP with this when I get back.
