But also note that Nintendo released possibly the biggest exclusive game game of the year (2007, please dont bring up games in 2008) across all consoles that month which was Mario Galaxy. This is like the September month to Xbox 360 with Halo 3. In that sense, I dont think it did outstanding at all for software. It should have blown the competion away by miles.

Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty 4 more than nullify the significance of Mario. And what about October? In October, the Wii had nothing, while the 360 had Halo 3 (it had only been out for five days when Oct hit, and sold 500k the first week of October), Half Life 2: Orange Box, Ace Combat 6, Project Gotham Racing...

And yet, the 360 only managed to have barely larger software market share than it did hardware marketshare (3 percent, to be precise). Is that good? Yes. Is it complete domination? Absolutely not.

And that's my point, really, Eugene. I'm not saying the 360 isn't doing particuarly well with software; it is. I'm just pointing out that it isn't utter domination, either. It's a 5-10 percent difference, which is nice, but not a huge deal.

 

How is selling more software in October, barely higher than the Wii when it sold more than the Wii and PS3 combined. As I said, Assassins Creed and CoD3 is mulitplatform and actually was advertised as a PS3 game. Mario Galaxy is arguably the biggest game of 2007 with the highest metacritic score ever. The November software sales for Wii should have been through the roof. Pecents mean nothing as anyone that listens to Howard Stringer should note. Mario cannot be nullified also by any game as it is a genre of its own.

 

Okay, sure thing.

You make no sense, so I'm just not going to respond to you anymore.
