I guess when being put side by side with PS3 3rd party sales figures, it makes a clear statement about where the money is.

The darkness sold 100,00

Oblivion 200,000

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 100,000

Tony Hawk Project 8 130,000

Cooking mama outsold the Darkness.

lol @ Rappala fishing outselling most ps3 3rd party games, including Ninja gaiden sigma and the darkness.

Also keep in mind that the only PS3 games that has sold more than 1 mil WW is Motorstorm and Resistance and both of those are first party.

@The_vagabond7,

RE4 did, as well.

I think we will really see the level of 3rd party support skyrocket during 08. The quality of games should continue to go up as well. Nintendo's runaway success really caught most devs with their pants down.

I hope your right timmah, I can't take any more second rate ports =(

Yea that is pretty bad but all of those titles are multi-platform and all sold considerably better on 360 (well Ninja Gaiden is a remake of xbox game that sold well but whatever).  If this was the only platform for these games they would be in big trouble.

4.07 million Wiis Versus  1.78 million PS3s

Comparison of 3rd party games that came out on both systems:

Madden NFL 07-                            412,762 (PS3) > 386,601 (Wii)
Tiger Woods PGA 07-                    335,017 (Wii)  > 180, 072 (PS3)
Call of Duty 3-                               322,191 (Wii) > 278,291 (PS3)
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance-              248,504 (Wii) > 200,000 (PS3)
Spiderman: The Movie 3-               200,298 (PS3) > 188,792 (Wii)
Need for Speed: Carbon-              256,701 (PS3) > 144,938 (Wii)

Godfather-                                       92,401 (PS3) >  50,000 (Wii)

2 Games that aren't actually the same, but are different releases for the same franchise (PS3 versions are ports)

Sonic-                   287,020 (Wii) > 130,000 (PS3)
Tony Hawk-          141,170 (Wii) > 130,000 (PS3)

As you can see out of the 3 biggest 3rd party publishers, this is the breakdown:

Activision has sold more units on the Wii, but it also had 1 more game released on it compared to the PS3 (by about 210,000 units)

EA has sold more units on the PS3, but it had one more game released on it compared to the Wii (by about 270,000 units)

Ubisoft did much better on the Wii with Red Steal and Rabbids compared to how it did on the PS3 with two ports (R6: Vegas and Blazing Angels).

So in conclusion, the difference between how well 3rd parties are doing on the PS3 and how they are doing on the Wii isn't that big, especially considering the Wii has more than double the userbase of the PS3 in North America, yet some games sold better on the PS3 than on the Wii.

nice, ckmlb.

I want to see this time next year. When 3rd parties have some quality stuff out. Right now the best 3rd party games I have seen are RE4, Godfather, Rayman, and Madden. The rest are genuenly crappy ports or have some flaw where it seems the dev got lazy.

Man image how much RE4 would have sold if it had not been released on two other systems already. Godfather is also really under rated.

I guess you got to give credit where credit is due, PS3 does have decent third party sales.
