you're an idiot



Oh that's cool

im surprised of zboz 360 sales



Microsoft's done a great job of mobilizing 360 software sales. I don't know if it just worked out that way bcause of their audience or what but they've seen great success.

Still, Nintendo is doing a good job that often gets downplayed.

If we look at the million sellers for the each console:

 

Wii: 194.2 M

Wii minus Wii Sports: 150.1 M

Wii minus Wii Sports and Wii Play: 127.56 M

Wii minues Wii Sports, Wii Play and WiiFit: 110.33 M

 

PS3: 61.1 M


XBox 360: 148.8 M

 

As we can see Wii Sports gives a significant advantage to Wii software numbers. But so do Wii play and Wiifit with their extra controllers. This idea of adding hardware working nicely to get more hardware into homes. I would not be surprised if by the latest next gen. M$ and Sony will bundle more things.

 

Still if we think about software from these numbers and porportions to user base M$ clearly has the egde and is the prefered console for the American audience for multi HD games while in Europe it is more balanced. But the Wii is at a pivital point were it should start to see the same sales numbers as the HD consoles for all multi games like Madden that come to all of the current gen. This year if games like Tiger Woods and Madden on the Wii fail to outsell the PS3 version then that market clearly has chosen the other console as preference.

 

i dont get wat ur saying ur thread title says that wii selsl the most SW this is false at least false wen comparing HW size to SW size

WW

@BHFeathers55: We're not talking about attach rate here. Don't move the goal posts. We're talking raw sales numbers period.

LOL that was gay!



if you're not gonna include wii sports, you can't include the other bundles period. You still have to include wii sports sales in Japan and Korea. The bundles where they give the games away without raising the price of the console should obviously not be counted in this case. Obviously we have the problem that we don't know how many were sold as bundles and how many were sold individually for most games. Japan has tons of bundles all the time, but some bundles add no value, very few add any significant value. I can understand why people don't want to count these, but it's too difficult because we don't have the info.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Most people have known this for quite sometime. That is why competitors to the Wii kept stressing "attach ratio" as if it really matters. I mean the PS2 had a lower attach ratio than the Gamecube if memory serves me correctly. That didn't help the Cube much in the grand scheme of things, did it?

So, if we are not going to count Wii Sports, we can't count many of the titles the other systems have bundled with their systems. It becomes a tangled situation. And as the poster above me stated in Japan it isn't bundled at all and has sold over 2 million so, let that be with you.

The last straw to graps at, and I've seen on numerous sites start bringing up is "meta critic says" or "Well duh, Shovelware." What people fail to realize is one quality is subjective, so to each is own. But secondly, if the Wii is moving software like it is with so few "quality titles" (I disagree with that sentiment) What will happen to those numbers when the third party blockbusters start arriving? I mean the main Wii titles are leaping over the 10 million mark like it was a broom stick at a wedding.



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.
