Nicely done, but isn't that WW for 1 week only, which is pretty much useless as some have sales boosts that they won't have in other weeks, that's why I did for the entire year.

Oh, and I'll add some cakes, but they won't be very good, as I've never learnt how to make graphs and such in excel. Any tips on how to improve is welcome.

Edit: Well, that worked out kind of well, and it only took 10 minutes. Enough pies for you now Galaki?

Ok, lifetime (estyimated from existing VG chartz numbers)

No surprises here.

PS3, 360 Combined for EA, Activision, Rockstar/Taketwo, and Ubisoft are very large and would line up with the development we are seeing. Acti and EA have more capital so they can invest in both platforms heavily; which has paid off for both. Ubi and Taketwo must avoid expenditures (due to previous losses) and have existing franchises that fit in well with HD consoles and PCs. HD Consoles can pay off big for large to medium sized developers with existing franchises but can be risky for new, high budet IPs.

Wii has a very strong showing from Sega, Capcom, Lucas Arts, Atlus, Majesco(relatively); these companies have either existing family friendly franchises or no franchises. Small size of these companies also works well with Wii's lower development cost. Which would explain the support form those developers. Wi, as expected, seems to be a great platform for smaller developers but not for mid-sized companies with successful franchises that rely on graphics or online play.

THQ would be doing fine from their success with WWE, Sponge Bob, etc. on both HD consoles and Wii, but are heavily vested in Saints Row 2 (which may not do so well with GTAIV out).

Interesting to see others seem to be higher 1st party percentages for PS360, it is probably due to the MS and R bundling for PS3 (and MS is still selling quite well know).
With those figures, many PS3 games are missing EU data, as are others, but it does represent the largest part of the market for PS3 so will effect it more

Interesting, so the Japanese don't like Wii third party games or 360/PS3 first party games.
That could potentially be an incentive for third party developers who make Japanese-centric games that don't sell well in other areas to choose the PS3 over the Wii.

 I think this is mostly due to the fact that M$ and Sony's studios mostly make action games (does this count Gears as a 1st party game because M$ pubished it (likewise with Resistance)?) and those don't particaularily sell well in Japan, so Sony is particular need to make some jRPGs, because last gen they had to rely of SE to make exclusives for them (FF X, X-2, XII, SO 3, KH 1 & 2)

Yes, everything that was published by Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo is counted as first party.

can't say i'm too surpised by the numbers - wii has had three big releases so far this year: SSBB, mario kart wii, wii fit. i can't think of any major releases by MS this year and i can only think of GT:P for sony. through in a bit of GTA madness and of course ps3/360 have much better third party %.

thanks for all the work oyvoyvoyv. xD
