Forums - Sales - Wii, Europe: Shattering the PS/360 Software numbers.

But anyway Congratulations Wii, good job you deserve it.

Cheap shovelware ,apparently ,sells.But that was well know.

Now serious.I cant believe you are using Vgchartz numbers for making such a bold statement.Only 50 or 100 games tracked ,lots of errors reported over the time ,including all the bundled games of the Wii as Wii Play and Wii Sports into this ,lots of games not tracked at all...


We can say ,for example ,that the Wii is doing amazing in UK,with lots of games on the Top40.Games that are ,most of the time ,absolutely rubbish ,but thats another thing.But I feel vgchartz just extrapolates the UK data to all Europe for games when in fact its clear the markets are not the same.We can see in France ,Italy and Spain that there is a good balance of Wii and PS3 games in their lists ...and the Wii ones are usually Wii Fit and Wii Play along another one now Smash and Mario Kart and some months before Mario Galaxy and Mario and Sonic.

 In fact ,it doesnt deserves it.Good and great software with tons of effort and work behind deserves to sell ,and Wii doesnt have too many games like that.Between the three consoles it has the weakest library by a massive difference ,even with the makeup that gives the PS2-Cube ports with high rankings between its games.

That's the fault of third parties. Take and place the blame where it belongs. The Wii can only play the games developed for it. Therefore it deserves the praise that it receives.

The Wii is about to surpass the listed Xbox360/PS3 combined software numbers with fewer consoles overall than the both of them together.

~10million wiis are selling more software per week than 14million PS/360s. The Wii is selling almost 900,000 units of software PER week compared to nearly 600,000 for the PS/360. Thats 50% more software from almost a third fewer consoles.

All I can say is good luck and ride that gravy train to the massive bucks third parties!

I think its 1st party games that are doing the selling. Its obvious from nintendo's latest financials relative to every other company. If wii sports is included amongst the wii software, that speaks volumes!

@Diomedes, go check the Ps3 numbers, i think they might be undertracked!!



Huh. Who would've thought that beggining anew in my real life would coincide with starting anew on vgchartz?

Any day now, the dollar will be worth less than 2 zloty......any day now.....and my life savings will be in total jepordy ;(.

FYI: VGC doesn't track a good portion of Xbox 360 software sales in Europe. Go look at the million sellers list, then the Others charts...It doesn't add up. VGC only started tracking X360 sales in Europe after Bioshock released on any sort of decent level (VGC says under 2m software units were sold between the Xbox 360's launch and August 2007...Think that's possible?)

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Wii doesn`t have any games how could this be happeneing!



Wow the Wii is selling great wow. Anyone surprised? Anyone at all?

you know in uk and some other european countries they have one game or 2 bundled with xbox360 and ps3 for same price as unbundled consoles but those software sales somehow count, what am i saying? anything that makes the wii look good doesn't count
