Wii vs 360 3rd party sales!

[Bodhesatva]

Ugh, I think everyone here is being a bit unfair.

Legend is absolutely correct that 3rd parties have made more money on the 360 by a fairly wide margin in the last year, even if the above charts may suggest otherwise.

Naznatips (and others) are correct to point out that this is largely due to the quality of support: the Wii has largely gotten shovelware, the 360 has gotten solid, well funded games on top of the shovelware, which naturally favors the 360 in that case.

But the original point of this topic is: "Third parties are doing quite well on the Wii, even in comparison to the 360," and the the response to that is "that's not entirely true." Even if the reason it's not entirely true is that the Wii has gotten terrible support. In short, it must be mentioned that the 360's support has been much stronger from the aforementioned companies; at the same time, Legend is absolutely correct that these companies have made substantially more money off their 360 ventures than their Wii ones -- again, even if the reason for that disparity is crappy games on the Wii.

Okay? Is that fair?
