Here is an interesting chart I stole from a neogafer which compares softwares sales to user base. The Wii clearly has the best attach rate. 

YTD Famitsu Software | LTD M-C Hardware | YTD S/H Ratio
1. NDS - 19,145,000 | 19,000,396 | 1.01
2. WII - 5,363,000 | 3,424,139 | 1.57
3. PSP - 3,056,000 | 5,853,510 | 0.52
4. PS3 - 934.000 | 1,085,019 | 0.86
5. PS2 - 5,212,000 | 20,671,514 | 0.25
6. 360 - 205.000 | 402,381 | 0.51

Says a lot. In the end people can pick and quibble over individual weekly figures - but you can't beat overall sales figures.

Pokemon company > 4 x Sony (SCE)

EA scrape in at #20

Ninty > 4 x next biggest (approx)

PS2 is the only thing stopping total Ninty domination at the moment.

Ninty > SquareEnix + Capcom + Konami + BandaiNamco + Sega + ....

Nintendo dominates and they still have SMG and SSBB to come.

I wonder how many of SE's 3.9 million sales were remakes?

And I think 2008 will be even more Nintendo-dominated.

 Warning fishy joe, your numbers can includes big mistake. Indeed, your number of 205 000 for the 360 is clearly false. I think, it's the total of game on 360 published by the 20 company you give previously. Also, the game published  by microsoft are not in your number of 205 000. I think, it can do a big difference.
