Well. you are comparing 1st console to a 2nd year console. It would be better to compare 360's 1st year.

I don't think 3rd parties care about aligning launches and years of consoles, they're only interested in what's selling now! Any dev out there that is about to start a new project and wants to know which system to invest in will look at 07 data for both Wii and 360 as it's the most indicative of the current market.

The other point is that the Wii started off with a userbase of 0.

What was the 360's userbase at Nov 19th, 2006 again?


Now that the Wii's userbase has exceeded the 360's, expect better results next year.

The 360's userbase on Nov 19th, 2006 might have been balanced out by the fact that all the games still selling on the system but released prior to Nov 19th weren't being counted.  Actually it doesn't matter anyways and all a person has to do is look at EA's, Ubisoft's, and Activision's financial statements to get a true picture of how much money they've made off each system for the year.  For example the lists makes EA games sold look far closer than they actually were based on EA's breakdown of the percentage of income from each console.
