Forums - Sales - 3rd Party Sales for all 3 Consoles Last Week

3rd party game sales LTD (roughly) made by me. Games over 400K are all that count (I know that makes it rough, but better than nothing)

Wii:
Number of games over 400K: 45
By Third parties: 25


PS3
Games over 400K: 33
By third parties: 25

Xbox 360:
Games over 400K: 81
By third parties: 67


Now, million sellers.

Wii:
Total: 25
By 3rds: 9

PS3:
Total: 12
By 3rds: 7

X360:
Total: 37
By 3rds: 29

For total sales on each, I'm doing a very rough estimate (still 3rds):

X360: 80M

PS3: 30M

Wii: 35M

3D0: 0.19M (not counting Drug Wars, as it sold 0.00)

on a side note, Konami's Pro Evo sells better than Fifa in Europe, and sells a lot better than Fifa in Japan cause Fifa is not even released there..



''Hadouken!''

Sorry Ajax.
You're right WiiFit will not destroy the PS3.
See the "end of PS3" thread for the context of my joke.

I was generalizing when I said EA sports games and mini game multiplayer games only go multiplatform but you should get the picture. We need GTA4, Splinter Cell, Call of Duty, Resident Evils...if these games sell well on the wii then no 3rd company will have an excuse not to invest time and money in to the Wii ports.

Alone in the Dark will be a nice test...i predict that some casual gamers go for the PS2 version and hardcore gamer gets the 360 version (ps3 doesnt come out till november)  and wii sales don't do so well.

So again it's a genre issue, not 3rd party in general.   Funny you mention RE yet Wii has 2 million selling RE titles already.

 

This is where the problem is.  People typically don't discern the difference when they lambast the Wii saying 3rd party titles don't sell on Wii.   You mean big budget mature rated titles.   That's cherry picking a type of 3rd party title of which Wii doesn't do as well at but it is certainly not the whole of3rd party title range.

 

EDIT: Ajax, are you in the wrong thread?


I know about the 2 resident evil games...i own them both and both are great (RE4 great... Umbrella chronicles so so). But I'm sure you will agree with me when I say that neither took a lot of effort to put together. RE4 was probably done in a weekend and RE:UC took 3-4 months tops.

The problem with 3rd party manufacturers bringing big budget titles to wii is that they design a game to be optimized on ps360...and then they have to figure out how to downgrade the graphics and implement wii mote...

Thus far its been hit and miss with some higher budget Wii ports when it comes to sales (Medal of honour2, call of duty didn't sell nearly as well) and until Wii shows the devs it can match the PS360 games in sales alone, they probably won't bother porting the biggest games over (MGS, GTA...)

Developing a game from scratch fo the wii is a posibility and then porting it over to ps360...but they would have to put a lot of extra time in to making the ps360 game look on par with other titles graphically as those 2 systems dont have motion controller they can use as an excuse for impared visuals.

it 's impossible for Wii Fit of any Nintendo game or wii mote or board game to kill the PS3, cause there are still many gamers who want to play many other games, it's not like the whole world wants non-games and party games and Mario..

Consoles are like Cities ...

The userbase represents the population of the city and the games represent the services available to the population. The Wii is like a boom city where the population far greater than its services are able to support; the city has an adequate number of walmart stores and movie theaters, but lacks the boutique shops, theater, art shows and other services that should be availabe in a city its size. There are people who see the opportunities and are trying to capatalize on them, and you will soon see these services available at a level which is adequate for a city its current size; by then the city will be larger and these services will still be inadequate and more people will see the opportunities...

In other words, although the Wii has a heavy ammount of non-games and party games this is only a temporary situation; other types of games will start to become a larger and larger part of the library over time.

 FIFA is released in Japan but on VGChartz it's down as FIFA 2008 under it's name instead of FIFA 08 like NA and Others.

 Pro Evo does sell better then FIFA but it's an unfair comparison in this case as Pro Evo has only been out on Wii for a few weeks.

 

I am how ever surprised 360 version of Tiger Woods sold better as well...you actually get to simulate swinging with the Wii, I know a few Wii owners with it jsut because of that. 



Hmm, pie.

Oyvoyvoyv

if you compare the consoles LTD, of course that X360 is going to win... it had 1 year of solo run there to sell 3rd parties games...



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

wait for the next week , when GTAIV is out to see what third party sales take both 360 and PS3...



@ Hephaestos

I know, but I assumed people would understand that. There was no way for me to only count from Ps3/Wii release and out, at least as far as I know. They're all doing pretty equally in 3rd support.

@ Elias

Because that would be fair. Take the perhaps biggest 3rd party game for the entire generation, and use that week to compare numbers. You sir are a genious!
