Lol, good ol' COMG. Nintendo has 90% marketshare on video game software and yet occupies only a 4th of their pre-order slots.

Because this chart is about pre-orders for upcoming software releases.

Obviously if it was a chart of old software that has already been released then Nintendo would own it completely.

I'm just guessing, but I think @psychicscubadiver's point is that Nintendo games are evergreens and sell like crazy for years to come, whereas the vast majority of other companies' games sell great initially and have fantastic preorders but then die out after the first few weeks never to be seen again. If lifetime sales looked anything like COMG preorders, Nintendo wouldn't be nearly as dominate as they, in actuality, are.
