I keep hearing that the Wii has less games being purchased for it than other consoles but seemingly each week I see the Wii as the leader in software sales according to VGChartz data.
Lets look at this week (even though it is incomplete as of yet)
Software Totals:
Console Weekly
Wii 2,383,911
DS 1,378,932
360 1,131,567
PS3 981,652
PS2 397,408
PSP 362,213
Total 6,635,683
And last week:
Software Totals:
Console Weekly
Wii 2,768,038
DS 1,502,897
360 1,149,367
PS3 881,045
PS2 645,694
PSP 534,109
GBA 636
Total 7,481,786
And as far as I can see Wii had the most software sold 3 out of 4 weeks in march (with 360 and DS beating the Wii in the same week).
So who is wrong here the naysayers or VGChartz (I tend to assume the former)? Or is it just a relativly new occurance for the Wii to be getting this much software sold for it because of SSBB, MKWii etc? OR Is it the simple fact that the Wii has so many more hardware units sold that even with higher software sales it still has a lower attache rate?
Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.
One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.
