In Others it outsold PS3 software by 1 million, not 400k as you said.

 

 I'm sorry you must take out Wii sports in Europe (Be glad I left wii play in it) and Japan wont have any launches this year while Ps3 will have the gundam game and WKC so it will only be better for ps3.

 

So how are you going to take out every game that has been bundled with the ps3??? (uncharted, resitance, motorstorm, lbp....)

 

And wii play, why would someone be glad u didnt take it out??? That game does not come with the console, its not bundled with it, yet people think it should count??? Please >.>

Why do Nintendo fans hijack these threads with irrelevant comments?

Then we have to take out all the PS3 bundles too. That will be fun.

Anyway, even if we do as you say and look at the total figures instead of last week's, the Wii sells almost as much software per console as the PS3 in Europe. Not too bad considering that the Wii has a diverse demographic in its audience.

But of course, this is all academic since what matters to publishers is the total software sales...

 This is for maynard too - I think leaving in Wii play balances out the Ps3 bundles...

The wii sells because of wii sports and price. its at 40 million right now and considering its install base the sw should be higher.

2008 was supposed to be the year for the ps3, insted with better games and a lot of deals, the ps3 is still selling the same.... oh wait, this week last year i think the ps3 sold more in the US. So, how can it be good for a console to sell the same when its suppose to have better games?

Ps3 sales are not awesome, DS and Wii's are. X360 too

The ps3 is not moving foward, which brings the excuses from people like you, and then we come to just tell the truth and then you start talking s**t and offending others with no apparent reason.

 

Funny.

 

 If your a gamer its the year of the PS3, why? Because unlike the WII it got AAA GAMES this year =)

You're right on on part, PS3 had a great year when it comes to games.

Even so, spewing falsities will get you nowhere. Amazingly enough, it is possible to praise one console without trolling another.

 

There are no lies in my words, Im basing all of the games off Metacritic 90+= AAA, Super smash, and world of goo were the only AAA titles released on the wii this year. Also sorry, there was no need to mention the wii, but since this was a sales thread, and its obvious the games arent what is selling the wii, then what is?? Thats just what im trying to figure out.

The ps2 became the best selling video game system because it had the BEST games, the wii is becoming a bigger seller than the ps2 at the same point in life, but its not the games that are driving it, since compared to the 360 and ps3, its lineup isnt something to be happy about..

 

Yeah i know, the fact that the Wii has more best selling games than the PS3 and that it has a bigger attach rate than the PS3 means nothing huh? I mean, how can somebody think that people buy a Wii (a VIDEOGAME CONSOLE) to play games? It's obvious that people buy it to watch movies.. Oh wait.. it can't play movies!

well lets see:

As far as week ending Nov 28th, and of course using the data from VGchartz we have that:

 

Wii Hard = almost 39 millions

Wii soft= 202+ millions

Ps3 HArd= 17.5 millions

Ps3 soft= 93+ millions

 

It looks all right to me.

So seriously, Nintendo is doing fantastic. Unfortunately, I only have Wii Sports.
