Thanks TWRoO, by the way. Interesting.

I will check the figures on my own Wii tomorrow (today I'm too exhausted from all those E3 sensations).

Only 150K out of 164K has used News/Weather channel.

People play Brawl 3 hours straight, and so does Fire Emblem. No other major games hold much more than 2 hours straight.

Fire Emblem among the 2 most addicting games confirmed!

so, how does it tally info?

Based solely on that calendar in the message center?
Does that keep info even if you delete the games save file from you Wii?

Thanks... I was going to add a column showing that kind of stuff.

You cannot use the numbers to work out sales so easily (ask DKII who does the American Wiiware/VC)

For instance compare LoZ:TP to Metroid.

77k LoZ in the data
30k MP3 in the data.

sales in Europe (VGC)
1.62 million LoZ
0.49 million MP3

Or to Mario Galaxy.
81k in data, 2.14 million in sales

It's not the same ratio.

It does give us a vague estimation, and so does mean Fire Emblem and Okami have low sales, but until the data is more accurate (particularly as Okami is a recent release) we can't say for sure whether it has sold 5k or 20k

Although to be honest how did you work it out to be less than 10k.
If I use the ratio of MP3 (fairly hardcore so in a similar band to Fire Emblem)

MP3 has sold 490k, and 30k are included in the data.
that's a ratio of about 16.3:1

multiply Fire Emblems 2170 (data from channel) by 16.3 and it ~ 35,000 not 10k

same ratio for Okami and it has sold ~ 30,000

-Of course the problem is that we don't know what ratio to use, MP3 is the one I chose because the VGC figures are probably pretty accurate, and it is hardcore like Okami.... but how do you judge these things exactly?

Yes... it tallies it from the "today's accomplishments" and yes the info remains even if you delete the game.... the only missing info is if you delete the today's accomplishments messages, which I doubt many people do.

Hmmm. I don't understand why the Nintendo Channel should have fewer people included than Wii Sports.

248,876 / 2.93 = 84,941 - Nintendo Channel

5,112,277 / 31.1 = 164,382 - Wii Sports

How did that work out?

Nice to see Fire Emblem get a lot of playtime.

TwroO

It tracks what is on your playtime when you start up. Half of the people only entered once, I guess.

is it because ssbb was not there for so long, or that europe really plays mario kart a lot because they like it more than us, that thier play time is like 30 hours when ours is like 20?

The reason it's higher here, is because it had been out much longer when Nintendo channel arrived. This makes that comparison flawed.
