How exactly does this matter?  The 360's third party performance is astounding no matter.  Its nearly equal to that of the PS3 and th Wii combined.

How does it matter?  It's been out longer... I mean, what more is there to say.

If one guy is ahead of another guy by 10 homeruns career totals wise and he's been in the majors a year longer... what's that really tell us?

Million sellers divided by months on the market is a better metric.

I mean, 360's been out a year longer... and it's been what... about 4 years?  That's like a 25% advantage.

I bet if you discount all of the first year mil sellers, it still wouldn't change the number in a meaningful way.

The HD systems just dominate 3rd party support while Nintendo rides the 1st party train. A very balanced generation.

I think the number is 10.  This would make a meaningful change.

Microsoft looks like a bigger publisher than I have seen them given credit for. Interesting stuff right there considering the size of their stable of 1st/2nd parties.

I knew that already. But I didn't realize MS had more million sellers than Sony.

You have made my day. That got more than a small chuckle out of me.

Hm, Sony should be moving up to 15 million sellers in just a month or so. God of War will cross a million its very first week in all probability, and Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Heavy Rain, and the God of War Collection should all break a million within a month or two (assuming I'm recalling correctly that the Collection will be hitting Europe very soon).

Socom: Confrontation will also finally break a million in a few months, putting them at 16. As will MAG.  Of course, Confrontation has easily made up that last 15k in digital sales, I'm sure. :P

just because they have sales doesn't mean they are any bigger than you thought they were..

there 1st party studios are microscopic next to SONY and NINTENDO
