Do I need to point out that the install base now is nowhere the same as it was when GH3 came out ?
What's illogical about pointing out that a platform with a bigger install base and 4x bigger weekly hardware sales sold 30% less software on the first week of the biggest crossplatform title so far this gen ? ( GH3 wasn't released on all platforms at the same date).

It's like you're not even reading people's posts...
Cling to your tie ratio if you wish, but I will ask you this: if you were a publisher, would you care that your game sold well in absolute terms in the long run, or that it sold to a large percentage of a small base? If you answer #2, then I advise making games for the Wonderswan, or N-Gage, or any other failed system, since you're certain to have high penetration. The rest of us care more about absolute figures, though, and don't expect each sequel's sales to rise with the hardware's on a 1:1 ratio.
