| magoghm said: It seems to me that right now Nintendo isn't doing bad at all as a publisher. Here is the data about next-gen games sold so far by the major publishers: Nintendo: 0m PS4 + 13.66m WiiU + 0m XOne = 13.66m Activision: 1.74m PS4 + 1m WiiU + 1.35m XOne = 4.09m Ubisoft: 1.27m PS4 + 1.98m WiiU + 0.68m XOne = 3.93m Electronic Arts: 1.82m PS4 + 0.21m WiiU + 1.11m XOne = 3.14m Microsoft: 0m PS4 + 0m WiiU +2.13m XOne = 2.13m Sony: 1.7m PS4 + 0m WiiU + 0m XOne = 1.7m Even with the very low sales of WiiU consoles, Nintendo has sold over 20% more next-gen games than Activision, Ubisoft, and Electronic Games combined. |
This is the most cherry picked data I've seen in a while.
1) Wii U has been out for about 12 months longer than the other platforms. The games have had way more time to sell including two christmas periods.
2) Nintendo have released far more games for Wii U than those publishers have for other consoles.
3) You're counting bundled games in that list, which makes no sense whatsoever. That's money Nintendo is losing.
4) Being multiplatform allows publishers to release their games on more systems than just what you've shown there.
