HD vs Wii dumbness

PS3 + 360 console sales combined are very close to the Wii total console sales number. PS3 + 360 are both HD consoles. We might as well say HD versus Wii in regards to arguing about game  and console sales.

You're pretty much the epitome of what I'm referring to in the OP.

Consoles are only lumped together for convenience in an argument. Although their userbases are on near levels this way, this does not mean the support level is the same.

It isn't like the PS3 gets only 25% of 3rd party support and the 360 only gets 25%, and only by combining them can you get 50%. On the contrary, combining them will get you something like 70% and 80%, averaged into 75% total, leaving the Wii with half the overall gaming userbase, but 1/4th of the benefits from that.

Wii owners bust out the "sales" excuse because they don't have much else to work with; you can't exactly say they are beating the PS3 or 360 with game libraries (even though that person may find the Wii one better anyways). You would figure with 70m people you would get some games. Rockstar said that was too large to ignore, but yet their biggest game provided was table tennis.....

Lumping PS3/360 games together cushions the reality slap of how much less the games are doing on their own, another defensive tactic.
