Homecoming (360/PS3 combined) sold more units at full price than Shattered (Wii only).

My granpa and my granma (combined) ate more peanuts than me alone (me only).
Therefore they combined eat more peanuts than me.
I want the Nobel prize for combination, now.
I'm sick of people who combine sales from 2 platforms against 1 platform alone.

That's the exact thought process publishers are going through though. If it's going to cost an extra $50,000 to port a game to the PS3, but it's guaranteed that the port will sell at least 300,000 units, then it'd be more financially viable to create one game and put it on two platforms for a low cost. If they developed the game for the Wii, they'd have to put much more effort into something that they aren't guaranteed to make their money back on, especially if that time and effort could go towards other games.
Your thinking about it from the perspective of a Nintendo fan trying to win an argument, but you should be trying to see it from the perspective of the publisher.

Then you combine the PSP and PS2 sales of SM with Wii and it still outsold Homcoming and we're back to square flipping one... See it from the publishers perspective man

This thread is about the Wii and the HD consoles. We aren't discussing how well Shattered Memories sold compared to Homecoming, we are comparing how well the Wii Silent Hill game sold compared to the HD consoles Silent Hill game, that's why I didn't even mention the PC version of Homecoming. I also mentioned why Konami probably finds it far more effortless to just port it between the PS3/360 when you take cost, the studio involved and the territory into consideration (as you mentioned in your most recent post).
