Combine this:

First 18 months software units (US):

Wii - 50 million (not including Wii Sports)
X360 - 28 million
PS3 - 20 million
PS2 - 42 million

with this:

 

Your first set of numbers include first-party sales which makes them useless for this discussion (especially since they're being partially blamed for sales of third-party games). Also the chart you showed doesn't really show the whole picture. For example how many titles are competing for those sales? I would guess far more than are competing for sales on either the PS3 or 360.

Um.. thats why he said to combine it with the chart.. i'll do it for you.. from the chart, on average thats roughly 50-50 first and third party ratio (it actually leans more towards third party, but i'll be generous)... now in the first section, we have it saying Wii software sales are 50million.. so 50 divided by 2 is 25 million -- tada.. wii third party sales = 25million

notice 360 is 28mil and ps3 is 20mil.. assuming neither have any first party titles (which is completely incorrect) wii is doing perfectly fine in third party sales

Edit: just noticed darkknight made the same point as me, but you ignored him so maybe this'll still be a useful post

 Common sense always gets ignored.  It's easier to ignore the truth then it is to face it. 

@Legend11: Stop ignoring this... we'll just keep throwing it in your face.
