Well, here we are - a good 6 weeks after GTA has been released (and at the cusp of the MGS release). And what has changed from a few months ago?

If anything, Nintendo is dominating harder, and stronger than ever before. Its starting to look more and more, like the Wii = PS2, 360 = GC, PS3 = XBOX from last generation - Wii may yet be on track for 60%+ marketshare (if GTA didn't help hardware, what will? More price cuts?).

Here is a snapshot of the worldwide, weekly sales 6th June 2008: http://vgchartz.com/weekly.php?date=39607

Here is a summary of the top#50 titles, with one restriction - titles must have been on sale for 5 weeks or more:

#48 - Pro Evolution (PS2), 3.2m

#49 - MHP2:F (PSP), 2.2m

#50 - Imagine: Fashion (DS), 1.2m

...

Quick analysis:

- 33 titles in the list

- 1 PSP title (exclusive)

- 1 PS2 title (no exclusives)

- 3 PS3 titles (1 exclusive)

- 4 360 titles (no exclusives)

- 24 Wii/DS titles, 11 Wii exclusives (GH3 only exception), 12 DS exclusives (every title)

- 4 Wii titles, NOT published by Nintendo (ignoring M&S games)

- Mario Kart DS (to date) has outsold GTA4 on both platforms combined

- M&S is approaching 7m (cumulative) sales - and could reach 10m lifetime (assuming it gets a good boost from the Olympics).

Very interesting to see the most successful games on the 360/PS3 are NOT exclusives (from this snapshot anyway). Wonder how long MGS will hold its own in the top#50 charts - no doubt will take #1 next week.

Yet basically every successful DS/Wii title is an exclusive (even non-Ninty titles) - probably due to the "unique" nature of the platforms.

...

Either way - could things actually get WORSE for the HD-platforms? Or is this Nintendomination at its ultimate level?

If M/S olympics pass 10 million sales will this not also mean it is probably the best sega selling game ever?

Long live nintendo.

You sound really desperate to in some way degrade the HD consoles Shams.....just saying.

GTAIV killing the Wii confirmed?

Well, I for one am very happy that Carnival Games and Imagine: Fashion and all of the other amazing games are doing so well. Long live Nintendo indeed.

GTAIV is losing thanks to the "Wii" titles? nice!

Sonydomination starts with Little Big Planet

Degrade sounds like some form of personal attack - silly me, I just thought I was doing some statistical analysis.

Or are we not allowed to point out anything that might show the HD consoles in a bad light? 

 No.
