very good job man

yea it could use a poll... but ill give it to him .... he promised and he delivered

Yep, that's why the PSP is known to only have PS2 ports.  Now, PS2 games are getting same day releases on the PSP, so that'll add to it.  Still a great year for the PSP, though, especially the non-ports.

Wii - 11 titles, total  216 votes (58%)

Hum...I guess you are right about the majority not being Nintendo, but the top 3, are Nintendo, Super Paper Mario probably won't sell more than Paper Mario 2 (less than 2 mil worldwide), RE4 is the third release of the same game (2nd for extra content), Fire Emblem is published by Nintendo,  and CC and Swords and UC are all spinoffs (1 made for kids).  So, 5 out of 11 are Nintendo.  I think the poll definitely shows the Wii bias in the forums, though.   I think the third party games are listed because you have to pick some after the top 3 nintendo games.

157 votes for Nintendo versus 59 vote third party games (73%).  That's hardly a great sign for third party titles.

But like I said, the main thing I think is the Wii bias.  I was surprised by the lack of 360 support when compared to the PS3, though.  Hopefully at least that's an indicator of some sort (personal bias, obviously).   There is no way those top 3 outsell Halo or GTA4, so calling this thread "most to be purchased) is a bit off, heh.

All that said, great job shams.  Much better than those elimination game threads that imo should be locked because whoever posts more will get their favorite game up there.  What's the point?  But I digress... 

@Windbane, why do you think Super Paper Mario will not even reach 2M copies? In the US and Japan combined this title is close to 1M already and the game isn't even released in PAL territory yet.

 I don't think it will reach 2 million either. If it does then it won't pass it by much. This won't have Wii Play kind of legs because it's a traditional game.

@Windbane, off course the top 3 games are going to be the top 3 nintendo games, they have been in development way longer than any 3rd party game for the Wii. Besides you shouldn't forget Nintendo is the largest developer of software next to EA, so imo that makes it pretty special 6 out of 11 Wii titles are non-nintendo. If we have a similar top 20 next year there's a pretty good chance 3rd party games will be doing a lot better on the Wii list, although nintendo will still be making a lot of games themselves.

What I think is very interesting is that Halo 3 is lower down than Heavenly Sword or Lair and Uncharted is right below it. This is probably because people on this forum have seen all the videos showing how amazing the PS3 ones are. As well as this, the feedback from the Halo 3 beta has only been so-so, its not much better that Halo 2. Of course, this will probably not reflect on sales, because Halo is a very well known brand

Yeah, because no controller is included with Paper Mario.  Wii Play cost $10.  I even considered the purchase for my family/girlfriend/30 minutes of activity (notice I didn't say fun, but that's me). 

Anyway, here's why I don't think it will reach 2 million:

Name	Console	Publisher	Japan	America	Others	Total
	Paper Mario 2	Nintendo	0.46	1.23	0.26	1.95
	Paper Mario	Nintendo	0.60	0.58	0.20	1.38
	Super Paper Mario	Nintendo	0.48	0.55	0.00	1.03

Slightly higher in Japan because they have gone crazy for Nintendo, but US numbers way down and it's apparently not very popular elsewhere but I think this game should do a little better because it's more of a typical Mario game.  New Super Mario Bros sold just as well in "others" as it did in the US.  Well, 78% as well.  Therefore, I predict it'll finish under 1.6 million. 

Although the list is well constructed and has some value, the only thing it proves in my opinion is that their are more Wii fans here in VGchartz than PS3 fans, and more PS3 fans than Xbox360.
