For DEVS Money Talks, Console Sales walks

Fanboys can discuss console sales till they're blue in the face.You can sell a bazillion consoles, but guess what? Devs don't make a cent unless they are selling games. Devs go where there is money to be made, plain and simple.

Wii: 14

Its interesting to note that 360 & PS3 games command a $10 premium over Wii games. Despite Wii selling about the same number of consoles, they have LESS THANHALF as many million sellers.

Oh and before some of you pull the "teh 360 had a head start".. Too bad. This is the 360's 3rd Xmas and PS3/Wii's 2nd. That's no excuse to be selling less than half, or in the PS3's case,16% of the 360's million sellers at this point in time.

360 probably is leading, but VG charts?halokillerz

Does it really matter where the data comes from when there is that much of a disparity?

Wii is barely 1 years old.

compare that with 2006 xmas to 360 what 10 million consoles sold to what 1 million ps 3 sold and about 1 million wii sold you think that counts has a x-mas as a whole.

this is wii and ps 3 first x-mas with 8.5 million ps 3 sold and what 18 million wii sold.

As we speak, Rockstar is developing their exclusive PS3 title....

GTA IV, DMC4, Burnout are being plugged away at on PS3....

and Nobi Nobi Boy, Heavy Rain, and the Ico team exclusive are still being developed....

along with GT5, all of the first party Sony titles, Final Fantasy XIII and Versus, and White Knight Story....

and what else?

Please. The situation will change. I guarantee it.

:lol: the ps3 and wii are only 1 year old. you can say 2nd xmas but that was launch. userbase wasn't enough to sell millions of games.

as for the $10 premium. how many more million does it cost to make a 360 game over a wii game? for devs that would factor in as well.

But look at how much the 31 million sellers sold.

Those 31 million sellers in total have sold around 55 million

While Wii's 15 million sellers sold around 50 million.

No, the 360 had 15 million sellers around that time.

They count Wii Sports and Wii Play in that figure.

Well yeah, but Forza 2 and M:UA is also bundled with the 360.

Sony fanboys made this same mistake last gen.

Just because a game is made by Rockstar doesn't mean it'll be good or will sell millions.

Both games sold a million seperately before they were bundled with the 360 and they've only been bundles with the 360 for 2 months.

Wii Sports has been bundled with the Wii since lanch one year ago.

Well, if you take Wii Sports out of the equation (except Japanese sales), it's still around 40 million. PS3's is below 10 million.

if we look at the chart for M:UA we see that it wasn't a million seller until after bundled. Forza was but doubled after the bundle.

Table Tennis was Rockstar's exclusive 360 game. Don't get TOO excited Sony fanboys... Let's wait to see what it is before we consider it a million seller. ;)

If you look at how many wiis have been sold and how many wiisports, you clearly the number of hardware exceeds number of wiisports. The japanese have bought ALOT of wii sports.

Still doesn negate the fact that it is and has been bundled with the system everywhere else since launch.

I think the XBox 360 had about the same amount as the Wii it's first year.

1) Gears of War 2) Elder Scroll IV: Oblivion 3) Call of Duty 2 4) Madden 07 5) TC: Ghost Recon 6) Fight Night Rd 3 7) Dead Rising 8) PGR 3 9) Perfect Dark Zero 10) Dead or Alive 4 11) Pro Evolution Soccer 6 12) Saints Row

Pretty close. XBox 360 had 18 more titles that sold 1 million copies in their 2nd year. That's pretty impressive.

Wiis sold outnumber wiisports by MILLIONS. Being bundled has no effect.
