Then the most important part, having a 60% 3rd party sales ratio isn't good or anything to brag about when the 360 and ps3 have 80-95% 3rd party sales ratios.

Actually, 60% is something to brag about when you're competing with the most talented 1st party developer on the planet in Nintendo.

 

Nintendo can carry it's systems on 1st party software alone... Sony and MS cannot, and thus, rely far more heavily on 3rd party support. The biggest game of this gen for XBox 360 and PS3 is a 3rd party title (GTAIV).

Well sony's first party console support is argueabley as good as nintendo's but that's not the point. Right now despite having a 6 million lead over the 360's hardware installbase the wii still can't outsell the 360 in weekly worldwide 3rd party sales. Forget percentages here, until the wii can sell as many units of 3rd party software as it's competition then it will continue to be critised.

That's an excellent rebuttal...from a year ago.

There's a lot more data out there that shows that third party sales on the Wii are already past those of the 360, despite having fewer big-budget titles. I'll repeat what I said in first post: I am willing to listen to contrary viewpoints, but since I've shown some of the data to support my arguments, I'll need you to do the same. Otherwise, I'll have to assume you're wrong, because an argument without support is as useful as Bush without Rove.

P.S. I'll be taking off for a few hours, so please use that time to marshall some good stuff to greet me upon my 'triumphant' return. I look forward to hearing what you have to say.
