@JamesCizuz

My point was... use ONE method for counting game sales for ALL platforms, doesn't matter which one you choose. Just one for all, no excuses. Otherwise that's bias.

//X360 bundles: Halo 3, The Simpsons Game, Resident Evil 5, Forza Motorsport 2, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Viva Pinata, Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, Kung Fu Panda, Sega Superstars Tennis.

That wasn't your point, I love how you also say "bias" since I agreed with you. No bundled games should count. I said that time and time again, and any sane person will agree, though VGChartz doesn't count sales for bundled games like uncharted, MGS4, Halo 3, etc etc, but counts EVERY wii sold as a sale for wii sports. Now, thats biased. Difference with other consoles is some have bundles, some don't, if you are buying the bundle it's because you want that game extra, though still shouldn't be counted.

 

 

Wait, on a side note, do you even know what bias means, because if you do how did you even have the gall to call what I said biased?

Wii is doing very well, so is the 360, but it has a one year advantage.

This is pretty important to remember ;)

Even if you take out WiiSports, WiiPlay & WiiFit - once you factor in the extra year of sales, the Wii/360 are basically neck-neck.

I think its fair to remove WiiSports/WiiPlay sales - but no WiiFit. I doubt many people buy it *just* for the balance board - at this stage anyway.

Really? That's stupid. //You shouldn't take offence so easily just beacause I said "bias" I didn't mean you're biased.

What are u talking about dude, they count bundles for all games.  Please stop making things up to back up ur argument.  How do u think lego indiana jones & sega superstar tennis got over a million for 360?

They choose which to count then. Because MGS4 wasn't counted, neither were a few others, completely. Uncharted bundles weren't.

 

MGS4 sold 4.5 million units, konami said sold, not shipped, at christmas, VGchartz still has it as 3.9 million. Why? Because they never counted bundles. Happens with a lot of games that either have low bundle numbers, bundle numbers aren't known etc.

 

Hell WII Sports said it sold 50 million 2 months ago on VGChartz, and WII only had 44ish million sold. They did fix that one however... They counted all WIIS as sold wii sports, and then included people who actually bought the game, such as japanese sales.

 



The ridiculous number is that Wii is number one in software even with the 360's 1 year headstart. Where was 360 in a comparable time period in its lifetime?



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

wow so 360 sells as many games as nintnedo does (not including wii sports) with only half the user base?

congrats Microsoft. But good job nintendo too

 

Not exactly half, but yeah 360 software sales are very impressive.



Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^

maybe 360 was released 1 year earlier?



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

@ JamesCizuz

4.5 million sold to retailers (shipped to retailers)! When will people learn?
