ok so it sold ~600k on PS360 each and ~200k on Wii. 1/3 the sales... in 2010 well after any core audience on Wii had vanished.

COD is a better example and shows the migration of core people away from Wii. Each game got better each with and even included Multiplayer. Yet it continued sell less for one simple reason. Core realized NO OTHER 3rd PARTY games were coming after 2008/9 and started buying PS360s, they then of course bought the PS360 version of the games.

BS, how about you show the other console numbers, because it clearly shows that the 360 version still outsold the Wii ones, even before the "core" gamers left.  Hell just pull out about any game that was multiplat and you can see the difference in the numbers, fact is 360 version of games sold better than the other two from the start, how do you explain that?
