So far, those numbers do conform with the stereotype.

You'll notice Nintendo accounts for 86% of software sales there. However, as Iwata shows with later graphs, the Wii has actually been following the DS when it comes to first versus third party sales, in all three regions. 18 months after it launched, the DS had about the same numbers as the Wii does now. If the Wii does continue to track along the lines of the DS, as it has in all regions so far, the ratio will start to favor third parties more in one year. Either way, third parties are doing quite well for themselves here in the West.
P.S. can someone please tell me how to embed images? My attempts have all failed so far. Thanks.
