Why do PS3 3rd party exclusives sell more than Wii 3rd party exclusives? - A Comparison

No one justifies it this way, though. The justification for excluding PC is that it's not a console. Even then, you could argue that it's unfair since excluding PC multiplats only really benefits the 360. The same way, this only benefits the PS3 here (and greatly, at that).

Also, the fact that I'm far from the only one here who finds this comparison ridiculous speaks volumes, don't you think?

Oh, and I said the first Mario and Sonic; the one that sold 7.85m. After looking it up, I see that it was actually published by Nintendo and not Sega even though the DS version and subsequent games in the series were. That's just odd.

PC plays games. PC is a console.

My old calculator plays games. Calculator is a console.

My piece of paper plays noughts and crosses. Piece of paper is a console.

See my point? I mean, given the whole brouhaha with AppStore games and whatnot recently, surely you've already heard of the distinction between "dedicated" handhelds and phones that play games. Same logic applies here; console implies "dedicated".

Actually, to be honest, I'd say that PS3 and 360 are just glorified DVD players, but then that isn't politically correct. And these definitions are mostly dependant on what people are willing to agree they are.
