also i am a die hard wii fan just take a look at my games...the fact is alot of shovel whare has been released on the wii deal with it...and since casuals like it it is selling really well....DEAL WITH it

How I'd spin it:

microsoft - "our 3rd party sales are greater than first party from nintendo and sony combined. We are here to support you...Mr. Hideo Kojima"
Sony - "We have MGS4 coming soon..."
Nintendo - to 3rd party publishers - "If you make it, it will sell."

Here is a new way to look at things, the attach rate for the month.

 Its fairly even with ~8 percent of owners of each system buying a game this month. Wii has almost 1% more owners buying a game this month than PS3, however, that can be attributed to the pack-in Wii Sports. Their

Isn't this expected given the current install bases?

I don't see why Wii Sports shouldn't be counted. It is the biggest system seller on the Wii practically, and a lot of people buy the Wii because THEY WANT Wii Sports.

i didnt expect wii to be that close to 360 with software sales

 For most of us, yes.

 But there are a lot of people who cling to the fantasy that the demographics of the install base are more important than the size of the install base (Wii casuals don't buy games, the 15-25 male hardcore market is the heart of gaming, etc.). The numbers consistantly refute this point.

mesoteto isn't a Wii-Basher.

Either way, lol@DamageControl Legend.

Wait till next weeks worldwide sells. Brawl launches. Pwnd 360, pwnd in the face.

360 is already pwnd, other than in 3rd party sales...and how is Brawl going to help with that?

"Our attach rates will kill the enemy and make our 3rd party comrades very rich"
