It's interesting how many more million sellers (proportionately) on X360 have reached 2 million than either PS3 or Wii...almost half of the million sellers on X360 go on to sell at least another million.


Yeah but you have to take into account that a lot of those 2 million seller had an extra year of sales (Saints Row, Fight Night Round 3, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 3, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, etc.) and that the games released in late 2006 had already a good userbase compared to the Wii and the PS3 at that moment which could explain this phenomenon.

That is a good point cause when you look at the proportion of PS3 and Wii games that went from 1 million to 2 million, they are nearly identical. Of course, there is also the fact that the X360 has a much higher attach rate, worldwide, than either the Wii or PS3 so it would make sense from that point of view as well.


The attach rate is indeed another element to take into account but the difference is largely due to this extra year of SW and HW sales the X360 had. If it wasnt for this extra year, I'm pretty sure the Wii would have more 1 million seller (and maybe 2 million seller too) than the X360 as of right now.

Looking at the list of Wii million sellers though, I'm not sure I see too many that'll make it to 2 million. My Fitness Coach, Just Dance, maybe Lego Batman & Indiana Jones, and presumably Monster Hunter 3 when it releases in the West...that's really not a lot. Most of the other 1 million+ seem to have stagnated or struggled just to reach the million mark, so crossing 2 million definitely looks unlikely.

Don't forget that if the Wii ould have been released in 2005, it would have released a lot more games that could have reach 2 million. Plus Wii games tend to have the best legs on the market look at Call of Duty 3, Sonic Unleashed or Monopoly for example.
