| Sullla said: I don't think this is a particularly fair comparison to the 360, which has bundled some games from time to time, but nothing on the order of Wii Sports. Still, what it does show is that the Wii has done a tremendous job of moving software, contrary to what many on the Internet still believe. At this time last year, I believe that the 360 had about 16 million sellers, so the Wii is easily winning that year-on-year comparison. I see it's impossible to have any thread about Wii million sellers without someone bringing up third parties... *sigh* Someone please tell me why it's "atrocious" for the Wii to have eight third-party million sellers, while the PS3 currently only has five - despite VASTLY more time and money going into the latter platform. |
However, those 5 on the PS3 represent 63% of the total, and with this year's lineup expect that trend to continue.
Wii's 8 on the other hand represent only 38%, and by the OP logic a paltry 17.3% of actual games sold.
For comparison, 3rd party titles makeup 77% of the 360's million sellers.
