this thread is pointless. heres why!!!

1. 360 will sell more games only because it has more people owning the systems... a 6 million difference means more games. thats the only reason.

2. Wii sales more games then both anyway so who cares.

3. attach rates are BULL SHIT!!!. ps2 had the lowest attach rate and GC had the highest...... that means all in all GC did good right?? NO FUCKING WAY. all 3rd parties went to sony as all of them WILL go to wii this gen.

Your an xbox fanboy if you think anyone looks at attach rates more then SALES of the console. WW the xbox is getting beat by ps3 and wii and thats where the games will go.

I was under the impression that the Wii is not a good place for third-party developers.

Third-party developers are actually making more money off the 360.

Xbox 360 titles accounted for $186 million of all third party game sales this generation, or 53% of share. (April NPD data)

 

Revenue is not synonymous with profit.  Don't forget that, by all indications, it costs substantially more to produce a game on the 360 than on the Wii, so a proportionally larger amount of that money will be eaten up by the overhead (this is probably an extreme example, but GTA IV alone cost $100 million to produce).
