PS3 has only 4.6 good games confirmed!

and with Wii Sports the ratio grow to 6.3, very nice

u can't take out part. games
otherwise, motorstorm, forza2, etc. would also have to be taken out to be fair

In the long run the PS2, Xbox, and GC all had very similar tie ratios, in the low double-digits. You'd expect that the system that has been out the longest to have the largest ratio.

SSBB gave Wii a nice software boost. Should have boosted the tie ratio by about 0.3. PS3 should see a similar boost from GTA IV, and 360 will see an increase too.

The software tie-ratio grows faster when the hardware starts to slow.

THAT is why 360 is posting record tie ratios in a consoles lifetime.

Wii is rising fast. Used to be below PS3.

While this is all great to hear, I'm curious to hear why people keep paying attention to the tie ratio. As far as I know, the whole statistic only really arose last winter, when the Wii-haters were scrambling for something, anything, to make the Wii look bad. Obviously, they failed. Again.
Last generation the system with the lowest tie-ratio was the PS2. Doesn't that show that this whole thing is bunk?

I thought the casuals were happy with Wii Sports?

WHERE'D THE CASUALS GO?

Remember guys, the PS3 and 360 each sold like 150k units, was it? 250 maybe.

The Wii sold like 4 times that amount, and it still managed to beat the PS3 in software tie in ratio?

That's amazing.

NYT showed tie in ratio, because if it showed static numbers, there would be no way to call the article "Wii doesn't sell software." NYT idiots.
