I'm finding it very hard to see where all the third party sales are coming from, especially in America. Unless they are omitting Wii-sports and Wii-play games or counting Mario & Sonic as third party, something is very wrong.

Mario and sonic is third party, there is no discussion possible.


Really? Including Nintendo's biggest mascot makes the game virtually first party, and I thought that Nintendo and Sega both published it.

 

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (マリオ&ソニック AT 北京オリンピック Mario ando Sonikku atto Pekin Orinpikku?, lit. "Mario & Sonic at the Beijing Olympics") is a sports game developed and published by Sega for North America and Europe and published by Nintendo for Japan.

Poor PS3 Sales Means Smaller Losses

"Actually, because the number of units sold was not as high as we hoped, the loss was better than our original expectation," Quotes from Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda.

 QFT, Sega Developed and Published the game every where but Japan.

 

Go look at the weekly totals and you'll notice the following (just grabbed this weeks info)

1,205,770

756,872

Total = 1,962,642 

Nintendo 969,433

Nintendo publishes less than 50% of all games on both systems. Nintendo also released a similar graph for the DS, and the 3rd parties also had ~50%, so we can see that the graph provided makes perfect sense.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

i'd like to know what are those great third party games that are outselling the wiis fisrt party games. i can only think of two.

GH3, MARIO AND SONIC. that's it.

 RE4 Wii Edition, Carnival Games, Rayman Raving Rabbids 1 & 2, Sonic and the Secret Rings, RE:UC, Lego Star Wars, Red Steel, and MySims are all third-party million-sellers as well.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

So Nintendo's 3rd party support is there, i had no idea. I wonder why people were complaining.
Guys please dont fool your selves, The wii is lacking in third party support, you know that, but its not Nintendo's fault, third pard publishers didnt think the wii would be this successful, so they ignored it until now. Eventually, we'll probably see more titles from 3rd parties come out, but right now, it's still behind the other consoles.

Yes and in Nintendo's graph for 1st parties in Japan it is included as 1st party while for europe and america it's listed as 3rd party.  It's a 3rd party game in America and Europe where most of the sales were (3.5 million of 4 million), but i like how we have to come up with all these technicalities to somehow deduce that 3rd party games don't sell on Wii.

 Why don't you subtract Wii play and Link's Crossbow training since that's what most fanboys do.

 The sales are there, the proof is the in graph, and it's in the sales every week.  The problem is that the support still is only half ass.  3rd parties should feel lucky they get the sales that they do right now.

 It's not that third party games don't sell, it's that Nintendo titles sell better and generally are better.

Well now, whose problem might that be.

Ei Kiinasti.

Eikä Japanisti.

Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.

 

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
