360 and Wii tied in software sales (NPD)

It doesn't matter that most of the Wii software consist of poo , casual Wii fans love it and they made great money out of it , business wise is was the perfect decision so who is to argue ?

Also its fun to see hardcore Nintendo fans neglecting the PS3 and 360 , clinging on that machine for dear life and getting avalanched in casual turds .

doesnt that include wii sports?

im sure the 360 has, and always has had the highest attach rate of any console

Yeah if that includes Wii sports then it isn't the fairest comparison. Still more Wii software sold than I imagined.

Does anybody read any of the posts in this thread? It's been stated numerous times now that Wii Sports is not included in the Wii's software sales, despite what fanboys like DeadMagazines and treedoor try to say.

Look at the bright side Wii and the 360 are both kicking the you know what out of the PS3 in software sales. So more proof that the PS3 owners in general are the least hardcore and mostly just blu-ray movie watchers.rybe1025

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] Actually, if you do the math, the PS3 has the best ratio of owners to software, with the Wii second and the 360 third. SpruceCaboose

how many wii fit and wii sport?legol1

[QUOTE="DeadMagazines"][QUOTE="ogvampire"]

and what will that prove?

treedoor

Wii Sports 45.71 million (That's a given)

Wii Play 22.98 million

Wii Fit 18.22 million

Mario Kart Wii 15.4 million

Super Smash Bros Brawl 8.43 million

Super Mario Galaxy 8.02 million

Mario Party 8 6.72 million

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 4.52 million

Link's Crossbow Training 3.76 million

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games 3.4 million

how many wii fit and wii sport?legol1

If you are allowed to cut out the number of wii fits sold out of the wii software sales can I cut out the number of copies of Halo out of the total Xbox software sales?

does that data include wii sports or not? if it does its not as accurate because you are essentialy accounting for XX,000,000 worth of freebie games.R_MAHIL

for the 100th time no it doesn't

What I find silly is that a lot of people are saying what a great feat this is for the Xbox 360 because it is matching the software sale of the Wii despite the Wii having a lot more sales. They seem to totally forget that the fact that the Wii even has so many more sales than the Xbox 360 is a feat in itself. The Xbox 360 had a whole year alone on the market while the Wii was up against the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. To think that the Wii managed to outsell the Xbox 360 and sell a similar amount of software in far less time is the true feat here.

It's odd how people attempt to discredit this feat by saying that the Wii has a little under double the total sales of the 360 when that is a feat itself as well.

[QUOTE="DeadMagazines"] Well sheep are saying their software sells better, but if they listed their top 10-15 you'd see it's stuff like Wii Fit, which is why no one's posted it yet. DeadMagazines

the 360's top5 best selling games are... halo, gears 1/2, Gta4, CoD4, CoD4WaW... wow. thats alot of shooters there... just as expected

oh wait... whats the point of this again?

its no surprise that the 360 has a different demographic than the Wii. its like you are trying to downplay sales just because the games that are sold arent considered 'hardcore'

thats just a weak argument

extra year means nothing? it doesnt now that the Wii demolished the advantage

the 360's library is the biggest out of all 3... so of course its attach rate will be higher. thats a given

since these numbers are only for NA, i wonder how much more software the Wii has sold WW compared to the 360

Of course? How so of course? Size of library doesn't mean anything by itself. You have to actually sell s/w units. Size of library could just as well mean more crap that doesn't sell. Mathematically, size of library is not in the attach rate equation.....so I don't see how this can be 'of course' or 'a given'.

[QUOTE="ogvampire"]

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]
Obviously the advantage the 360 had didn't mean much either, considering it can sell as much software as the Wii can with a lot less units in the hands of the consumer.

more games, more options

the average consumer will buy more games for their console if they have more choices. isnt that obvious?

too bad the majority of good games on 360 (or games that interest consumers) just so happen to be more-of-the-same shooters and games like GTA.

yes... MORE-of-the-same. "MORE" is the key term here...

in the end, people are still buying them

BTW, this discussion is about size of library, not variety.

Oh sorry. If I come into System Wars, I am bound to start another blood feud between Wii owners and 360 owners, sorry.:P
