Basically, in VG Charts Data:

Out of the 11 Million Sellers for Wii, only 3 Titles are 3rd Party
Out of the 29 Million Sellers for 360, 23 are 3rd Party
Out of the 2 Million Sellers for PS3, none are 3rd Party

So that might make his comments more reasonable for Square Enix as a company. 23 out 29 is a much higher pecentage compared to the other consoles.

If you take that into context, then of course for a 3rd Party Publisher, they have to look at which console supports 3rd Parties the most.

In the case of Million Sellers (from VG Charts Data only), then the 360 is the most successful for 3rd Party Publishers.

This is true, but it's also the system with the most high quality 3rd party games.  In this case, it's as simple as crappy games get crappy sales.  Also, that doesn't necessarily paint an accurate picture, as overall 3rd party sales are more like 2 to 1 for the 360 when comparing this year for the 360 to this year for the Wii (as we discovered in another topic earlier this week).  Obviously million sellers are important, but there are other software sales, and it's also important to take production costs into account.

 Are you try to take a shot at Mass Effect sales and claiming its a crappy game?

lol no not at all.  Mass Effect sales haven't been bad, just not stellar.  I'm sure it will still break 1 million anyway.
