"Wii Third-Party Struggles Highlighted by May NPD" - GameDaily

[Bodhesatva]

I see it, DarkNight, and I'm not persuaded by it. First, this particular month, Nintendo controlled over 2/3 of the Wii market, and what's happening now is the most important statistic for any publisher. Second, while the statistics you've listed are better than most might have guessed, it's still not great; can you imagine Microsoft controlling 50% of the 360 market? I would guess they own closer to 15-20%, unless you count Mass Effect / Gears as first party (I actually think of them as the most important third party games; not only did they give Epic a very third-party viable platform to develop on, but they also helped finance the project).
