seems about right Nintendo have 62.7% software sales for the Wii as they have put 2 thirds of the effort in. it'll be interesting to have a quarter by qwuarter analysis of third these percentages as 08 goes on as I expect third parties to start making more of an effort this year.

Nintendo DS:

Worldwide. Data used: Worldwide chart, weekly chart after week ending 16th May, and weekly ending 4th January. Numbers are largely inaccurate.

My god.  Please stop with these threads.

^

Your god please stop with that picture.

I put up some info that I haven't seen anyone else post around the net, and I thought that people would be interested, as this is a widely discussed theme.

Interesting, if you (or someone else) would put up PsP and X360 too, and add a comparison of how it was to last gen (Japan) that would be fun.

As this thread got next to no replies, I bump it up, as some people might not have seen it. If you once again find the info meaningless and don't post, I'll let it die.

I added a graph for America, and I can add one for Europe and Japan too if you want me to.
