| Sullla said: I find it hard to believe that anyone can still give serious thought to the tired notion that third party games don't sell on the Wii. It's just not true! They do in fact sell quite well, especially given the overall low quality of many of the third party efforts. I don't want to turn this into a fanboy war, but the best metric to show how well Wii third party games are selling is to compare them to PS3 third party efforts. After all, if the Wii sales are so bad, they should be getting outsold by the PS3 (which released at the same time), right? Third Party Sales, America Only Million Sellers 500k Sellers 400k Sellers 200k Sellers It's impossible to escape the conclusion that Wii third-party software has decisively outsold PS3 third-party software in the American market. What often confuses observers is the fact that the Wii has also sold boatloads of first-party software as well. But the video game market is not a zero-sum game: it's entirely possible to have strong first AND third-party sales! Maybe eventually people will realize this. |
Fix'd that for you. Should AC next week.
