Forums - Sales - Wii software WW > 360 software WW. Microsoft: "Wii doesn't sell software"

And for the record, this assumes that we're counting the 20 million copies of Wii Sports bundles as sold, and the 3 mllion copies of Forza/Marvel as sold as well, which further muddies the figures.

And yet, it just doesn't matter.  As you've pointed out, even if the Wii is still behind the 360, or if it's not yet clear, the Wii will be the clear winner by the end of the year.  There will be no way to cast doubt, no questions, nothing.  Just dominance.

And MS will still come out and feed some bullshit.  Maybe it is hard for them to admit that they're the loser again this generation, but eventually they'll have to stop saying that their competitors can't sell games or that 9 year olds buy Wiis (he suggests that during the same interview).  I think Nelson media stated that the average Wii owner is older than the average 360 owner.

One thing that is clear, however, is that the Wii is selling software way, way faster than the Xbox 360.  It's especially impressive for it to have crushed the 360's stronghold in such a short period.

How long until the Wii has sold the most third party software?

I posted the US numbers for the first 18 months. But maybe he is pulling a Crazzyman and comparing the LTD which includes a year more sales for the X360.

360 has the best attached rate by far, and btw Wii is 9 millions ahead of XBOX360. So the total number of games sold is with no doubt more on Nintendo console ...

You get a free game with every Nintendo Wii sold. That would help things a lot.

Umm, except a large portion of 360's and PS3's sold also came with a game. So this argument fails miserably.

 

I missed this the first time. Actually, the figures exclude Wii Sports.
