Microsoft looks like a bigger publisher than I have seen them given credit for. Interesting stuff right there considering the size of their stable of 1st/2nd parties.

just because they have sales doesn't mean they are any bigger than you thought they were..

 

there 1st party studios are microscopic next to SONY and NINTENDO

The year head start somewhat inflates their numbers here.  They were releasing million sellers in 2006 (PD0, PGR3) while Sony and Nintendo were still supporting the ps2/gc.  Even in 2007 Sony was still supporting the ps2 to a degree, with releases like God of War II, while Microsoft's efforts were focused fully on the 360.

Within the next few months Sony will fly by Microsoft in million sellers for the gen, as shown in my earlier post.  They'll soon be at 15-17, while Microsoft will be at 14 until Alan Wake eventually crosses a million.

And Nintendo flew by Microsoft years ago.
