Hey all.

 I was working on this last night, and after seeing the whole "why devs should only dev for Wii" thread, I figured I would post this:

 As you can see, I put the major notations for either sales spikes, or notable games. The only one not really on the list is Tiger Woods 07 and Sonic for the Wii, and a few Xbox 360 games (MLB 2k7, Def Jam Icon, ect).

The chart is with Wii Sports in the US. Taking Wii Sports out, would put the Wii down by around 1.5m units give or take.

Here's the chart with November/December added, and against the Xbox 360's first 6 months in the US (November 2005-Apr 2006). Also, note the data for the PS3/Wii: there is 1 week left for the official NPD month of april, so the Wii and PS3 should get 200k and 100k more s/w units respectively. Results are subject to change:

Also; the top 20 next-gen titles as of 6 months into sale (not including Wii Sports, as I'm counting software SALES);

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii); 1,550,207
Call of Duty 2 (Xbox 360); 970,750
Wii Play (Wii); 869,173
Ghost Recon: AW (Xbox 360); 672,500
Resistance: Fall of Man (Playstation 3); 668,499
Oblivion (Xbox 360); 552,000
Madden NFL 06 (Xbox 360); 507,250
Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360); 504,250
Wario Ware: Smooth Moves (Wii); 499,424
Rayman Raving Rabbids (Wii) 434,486
Need For Speed: Most Wanted (Xbox 360); 394,500
Madden NFL 07 (Playstation 3) 377,009
Fight Night Rnd 3 (Xbox 360); 373,750
Red Steel (Wii) 371,993
Madden NFL 07 (Wii)  350,499
Project Gotham Racing 3 (Xbox 360); 324,500
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (Wii); 297,377
Call of Duty 3 (Wii); 295,897
Super Paper Mario (Wii); 274,962
Motorstorm (Playstation 3); 256,194

* Note about this list: I do not have 100% full data for the Xbox 360: I only have the games listed that eventually went over 500k. I *ASSUME *DOA 4 made the top 20, but I am unsure right now. If not, it'd be #21.

Top 20 Titles by Platform:
Nintendo Wii: 9
Xbox 360: 8
Playstation 3: 3

huh? I think everyone knows 360 sells the most software right now, particularly in the US where they have a userbase of 6.04 million to wii's 2.64 million to ps3's 1.39 million.

which is why it is pretty amazing that the wii can compete in s/w sales even though they only have half the h/w

How about the statement I made stating the fact that the Wii s/w has done the less sales as the 360 did last year? Any opinions on that?

where? I see where you say 360 sold 4.76 million in the similar timeframe, while Wii has 5.668 million. I will say that 360 selling that much software is good because they had smaller user base and more expensive games than wii does now, but they had arguably bigger releases in that time.

Why even take Wii sports out of the equation????

I agree With Johnsobas huh? I think everyone knows 360 sells the most software right now, particularly in the US where they have a userbase of 6.04 million to wii's 2.64 million to ps3's 1.39 million.

And have this to say...I should hope to God that Microsoft has more software etc. CONSIDERING THEY LAUNCHED WHAT YEAR AGAIN????? 2 years ago?? oh wait a microsoft fan will correct me and say no IT has been out 1 year and 6 months!!!! lol

The wii doesnt own the US market...............................YET!

 Take it easy there...no need to go crazy.

It's also easy when you look at the games. With 3rd parties, the Wii has unquestionably gotten the shortest end of the stick, and will continue to do so for some time.

Again, as I stated: The Wii hasn't sold anymore software than the 360 did in the same January-April timeframe if you just counted LTDs upto this point. The 360 sold around 4.7m units last year versus the Wiis 4.5m (not including Wii Sports). This is kind of suprising, since the Wii outsold the X360 by around 1 million units by this time. So.......That means the Wii has about a 5:3 ratio in terms of hardware, but only a 1:1 ratio in terms of software.
