This thread has given me the most astonishing news ever.

The Source has moved to England!

Why was I not informed?

Lets face it, the only sports game wii fans like is in fact....wii sports.

How do you know that?

 

 

 

Because multiplatform sports games always sell far less on the wii than on the HD consoles. Despite the huge userbase difference

 

Unless they are tennis, golf, or football games.

Thus the proof that although the leader of this Generation, The wii will never be like the PS2.

Wii most certainly will never be like the PS2

 

Let's wait another year or two before we make that call.

Oh, and FYI:

NPD says that 2.3 million copies of Madden sold through in August. Adding up PS2, PS3, X360 and Wii numbers gets us to 2183.3k. That'd mean that there were *roughly* 116,700 Madden 09's sold between the PSP and DS.

Yeah, as you point out, the 2.3m is rounded off to the nearest 100k, which means the 116,700 handheld Madden sales has a margin of error of +/- 50,000. Same goes for GTA IV, NPD say it sold 4.8m through August. It was at 4,711,000 through July, so we could say it sold 89,000 in August, but again, the margin of error is +/- 50,000, so both Madden PSP/NDS & GTA IV 360/PS3 numbers are extremely rough.

Football? Thats hilarious. Both the 360 and PS3 pro evos are 1 million sellers, the wii version is not. And yes it came out after



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

10k between PS3 and 360. Way to close to really say who really won. The NDP estimates arent perfect. Could be 2k in between, could be PS3 ahead by 3. No one will ever know exact numbers. August = a draw for what I'm concerned.
