I know you're big on sales Jarod, and know a ton of stats. I feel like I've seen you post these lists before, though, and here they seem like a total non-sequitor. First, because that would be like someone comparing the Wii's current lifetime sales to the PS2's current lifetime sales. And second, because a top ten list belongs in a thread about top selling games, not overall sales (software or hardware). Doesn't it? |
Yeah, the 1:1 comparison isn't the best since Wii and PS3 have each only had just over 3 years to sell games, and both have at least a good 2 more (or more) years to go. Still, I'd say they're both actually comparing very favorably to the previous gen lifetime top tens, which is impressive.
I did top tens because that seems like the easiest data to provide, and gives us at least a window into software. I'd love if someone has total software figures to compare though (I don't! ;_; )....
