Didn´t Guitar Hero III sold best on the Wii?
I was answering Twesterm in particular. I made no claims to originality.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
That may be, but the Wii earns them more money.

What were you answering? You're talking about sales and I was just saying those highlighted games aren't casual. I have no idea why you're bringing up bundles in relation to my post and why you thought you ended the thread with your "win."
Sorry, I completely mis-placed the quote box... for some reason I though you added the "...Given the huge install base of the Wii I expected it to have much higher sales, especially for games aimed at children like Kung Fu Panda." line...
As far as the "win", I was trying to be funny. This thread was on fire, then it stopped.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
it looks to me that all multiplatform games are casual games based on OP's criteria... can someone show me a game on all 3 consoles that is not casual?
MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
Funny, you call a game like mario kart a core game and then go on listing a lot of games as casual.
| Pyro as Bill said: I'm going to define casual in this post as music games, sports games, movie/tv games. Games that non-gamers would recognise outside of gaming. Guitars, football, star wars etc. I've used the best sellers and the combined multi-platform sales are all above 2.5M. Guitar Hero 3 360 - 4.22M, PS3 - 1.89M, Wii - 4.19M Lego Indy 360 - 3.28M, PS3 - 0.52M, Wii - 1.18M Kung Fu Panda 360 - 2.86M, PS3 - 0.37M, Wii - 0.69M Marvel Ultimate Alliance 360 - 2.45M, PS3 - 0.27M, Wii - 0.35M All bundled heavily on 360. Madden 08 360 - 2.41M, PS3 - 0.92M, Wii - 0.93M Not casual RockBand 360 - 2.30M, PS3 - 0.83M, Wii - 1.30M Late port. Madden 09 360 - 2.28M, PS3 - 1.58M, Wii - 0.84M Not casual. Sega Superstar Tennis 360 - 1.98M, PS3 - 0.25M, Wii - 0.86M GuitarHero WT 360 - 1.95M, PS3 - 1.18M, Wii - 2.90M (Wii wins this one) Lego Star Wars 360 - 1.14M, PS3 - 0.69M, Wii - 2.53M (Wii wins this one too) Fifa 09 360 - 1.81M, PS3 - 2.14M, Wii - 0.64M (PS3 wins this one) Not casual Star Wars Unleashed 360 - 1.67M, PS3 - 1.16M, Wii - 1.24M DEFINITELY not casual...
I was actually quite suprised by these numbers. Given the huge install base of the Wii I expected it to have much higher sales, especially for games aimed at children like Kung Fu Panda. Should 3rd parties consider keeping the casual games to the HD consoles? Does the Wii have more core gamers than 360/PS3? |
So Wii wins 2/4, even in your ridiculous cherrypicked data sample. You can begrudge the Wii a lot of things, but you can't say it doesn't sell casual games.

Sega Tennis was bundled on 360, and According to all other sources GHIII sold best on Wii too. So really it's 2/3 at best in this totally cherry picked data.
However, casual games do sell okay on 360 and MS has certainly pushed hard for that market. But there really is no disputing Wii is the master in that area. And Sony - former casual king - has totally dropped the ball on that market.
