Brawl, WiiPlay, WiiFit, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Zelda, GH, Big Brain, Super Paper Mario, WarioWare, Crossbow Training, Strikers, RE, Sonic, Metroid, Lego Star Wars, RE:UC, RRR2. 19 out of 25, or 76%. 360- Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, GTA4, Forza, Guitar Hero 3, Madden, Tom Clancy Ghost Recon, Tom Clancy Rainbow Vegas, Guitar Hero 2, COD 3, COD 2, Madden 07, Fight Night 3, Tom Clancy Rainbow Vegas 2, PGR3, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Perfect Dark Zero, Need for Speed: ProStreet, WWE, FIFA, Tom Clancy Splinter Cell, PES 2008, PES 6, DOA 4, DMC 4. That is 29 out of 41 Million sellers relying on established IP's. Or 70.7%. PS3- GTA, COD 4, GT5:P, MGS4, PES 2008, FIFA, GHIII, Need for Speed, Ratchet, DMC 4. 10 out of 15, or 66.6%. It seems that the Wii's Million sellers come mostly from established brand names. But the Wii is also the one that has MUCH more Million sellers up their sleeves and Nintendo is apparently the best one at creating new IP's. And since they have a larger userbase it is a given that the software will sell much more. My guess would be the Wii. |
Let's be careful throwing around the word best shall we. Big Brain, Mari Strikers, Link's Crossbow, etc. may sell like gangbusters, but qualitywise they're nowhere near new IP's available elsewhere. Bishock, Mass Effect, Uncharted, ...
Overall the million sellers count will shift in the Wii's favor, but it will still be a long drawn out battle with the 360 which whill finish second.
