Can I get a source for those data?

Sure thing.

All abnoxiousness aside, the links are in the table headers, look at OP again.

There's the problem.

It's the best we have, and the basis for most our speculation on this site.

There may be some variances here and there, but the total Nintendo games sold is almost twice the total number of Sony games sold.

I'm not sure you can argue against something like a 600m units win.

How inaccurate do you pretend vgchartz to be, overall?


Very inaccurate. The fact remains that, besides the numbers themselves not being correct, VGChartz doesn't have data for all games and it doesn't have digital data.

Think about it, what matters more?

If the Wii ended up selling almost 400m units, that's 4 times the units of SW as compared to HW.

If the Wii was sold at say 100$-200$, and software is sold at 40-60$, the total money is

HW: 100m * 100$-200$ = 10b$-20b$ revenue

SW: 400m * 40-60$ = 16b$-24b$ revenue

Considering that SW makes typically much greater profit % than consoles (which are often sold at a loss), I think that says a lot about what matters more in the bottom line.

That applies to all manufacturers. Do you think that this affects one more than another in a way that would affect the final numbers enough to change the final winner?


Yes, it affects one more than the other because the adoption of digital is not equal on all consoles. Some consoles also have more digital titles than others.

*And this is the reason why nintendo is the only company in the world that can survive by themselves (while having little to no third party).

Oh this based on sales. If we were just talking about quality games Nintendo is the top publisher... that's it, just the number 1 publisher in the industry =D

That's your opinion. For me they are among the worst publishers and Sony easily the best followed by Take-Two Interactive and Electronic Arts.
