Whats the point of this thread? Is it to compare how much platform holders sell compared to 3rd parties? It's kind of a pointless comparison then, Nintendo doesnt receive many 3rd parties therefore they will come out favorably, which is what I suspect OP is hinting at. In any case, Sony made it's consoles open for everyone and 3rd parties found a new home after Nintendo shunned them during the n64 era. Therefore, the numbers will be skewed, as both have different size of 3rd party releases.

Why are you using the word skewed, the numbers are what they are, people can draw their own conclusions.

For example, if you suspec that PS will have a lower ratio, that is not a bad thing, like you said it just means that Sony have a stronger 3rd party library or that 3rd party games sell better on their platforms.

Don't see evil everywhere Turkish, this is a sales thread, I'm just asking that people put their estimate numbers. When the game is over I will post the actual numbers and people will be able to compare, there are some surprises.

In the final thread, I will not just show ratios, but the full sales numbers. I'm sure even you will appreciate it.


The numbers are what they are, but there is a clear disparity between the platforms in regards to 3rd parties which your thread wants to compare, everyone will agree that it will put only 1 in a favorable daylight. So I'm inclined to say it's not a level playing field.
