To be fair this is retail only.

With the recent push towards digital distribution, the software numbers from NPD, VGC, GFK or MVC are becoming less and less relevant.

Nice info though.

To be fair, why would the ratio between 1st party and 3rd party be any different for digital?

OP nice find! This tells us what we already know though; 3rd party is what drives X1 and PS4 sales and Nintendo fans only buy Nintendo games. But Im a little surprised to see that X1 is selling more 1st party games than PS4; is it due to instal base lr something?

Its due to how many of those first party games were given away / bundled.

But theres been quite some 3rd party bundling as well, right?
