So last gen, all 1st party software was only about 10% of the market.

This gen, Nintendo alone accounts for 20% of the console software market?!

Small wonder that the publishers want anybody but Nintendo to make the gaming hardware. They'd like their lunch back.

Iwata: (laughs)


remember nearly 70 MILLION of that software is wii sports though

I don't see the relevance.

Wiis bundled with Wii Sports have had a higher MSRP than those which do not. In other words, Nintendo got paid for Wii Sports whether it was a Japanese customer buying it seperately or an American customer buying it bundled.

The customer is still getting a game, and Nintendo is still getting money for it. 3rd party games bundled with the HD systems are treated the same and counted in that huge software total.
