He's basically saying the same thing we've heard many times from third parties. EA, Activision, Ubisoft, and others simply aren't seeing the sales they should be seeing on the Wii considering its marketshare.

At the end of the day it's better for third parties to have Microsoft dominant over both Nintendo and Sony since it takes a smaller share of total game sales when compared to the other two. Nintendo sees third parties as direct competitors while Sony has made it obvious they're working on building first parties at the expense of third parties (reduction in moneyhats, etc).


Thanks for helping me prove my point.  Imagine what that chart would look like if the 360 was the one with an installed base of 69.56 million and the Wii had 39.06 million.

The prob with Greenburg being quoted in anything is that we don't always assume he is talking about the NA market only. Seeing a graph like this means this poster was probably thinking like Greenburg - that is, he is talking about the NA market only. So you cansee how close the 360 is to the Wii here even though it's userbase is much bigger.

I would hazard to guess that if we saw "worldwide", Greenburg might be proven even more right but Greenburg rarely makes statements that are referring to the whole world market. He is so US centric. Remember the quote about the PS3 being, what was it, half the 360 install base?
