Why on Earth are you comparing entire franchises (most with yearly iterations) to a single title...? |
If you paid attention to what I said a single games numbers will get inlfated on a console if it is the only offering. Let me say this for example. If they would have released another Mario Kart 2 years after Mario Kart wii on the same console then Mario Kart Wii wii's numbers would be drastiacally lower. Now I'll take Halo 3 which reached 12 million. It could have increased as well over time if more halo games didnt release. im not Saying that it would have sold more than Mario Kart Wii but Im saying as franchises in a whole MSFT and Sony's first parties are ranking up near Nintendos big titles on the same time frame. Then you have 3rd parties which actually sell more than Nintendo's first party. Each year Call of Duty sells about 20m across the HD twins and continues to sell well until the next installment in the franchise.
