If this is true then why has the Wii got a higher tie ratio than the Ps3? It is a fallacy that the Ps3 sells more SW than the Wii.

No it's not;

UK Software unit sales in 2010:

360 - 18.1 million
PS3 - 13.8 million
WII - 13.6 million
NDS - 9.8 million
PC - 5.3 million
PSP - 1.6 million

It sold more software than Wii with less than half the installed base.

Week Ending 01st Jan 2011

Wii - 7,741,290
PS3 - 3,752,822

On average PS3 owners bought more than twice as many games as Wii owners in the UK in 2010.

 

 

So now you are cherrypicking 1 year and 1 area? Look at the WORLDWIDE WEEKLY CHARTS on the front page and you will see the tie ratio which is the average amount of games bought per console owner.

Well you need to take a look at the VGC charts with one key thought in mind. Wii currently comes with 2 games that are counted as sales.  They are not part of the tie ratio.  Those games were not bought. They came with the hardware for free.
