Points of interest:

1) Wii sells significantly less than would be expected of a system that sold 2.1 million in November. Clearly this is an issue of supply, but whatever the cause, the problem is there.

2) Every single game the top 10 on PS3/360 is a shooter. Expect this genre to continue to dominate those platforms.

3) All Wii software in the top 10 is developed by Nintendo.

4) Mario Kart DS re-enters the top 10 in its

5) Looking at the top 10 titles of the year, the top 4 are all for Wii.

6) Of the PS3/360 titles in the top 10 for the year, all are shooters save Madden at number 9.

How come half the time there is a ridiculous pro-Sony comment like this, it's from some user who has 10-20 posts in 2-4 years?

So I guess that poster is fine that it's the DS that took the record instead?

WII PLAY W/ REMOTE 5.28M
WII MARIO KART W/ WHEEL 5.00M
WII FIT W/ BALANCE BOARD 4.53M
WII SUPER SMASH BROS: BRAWL 4.17M

If retail price of the games is $50, (sans Wii Fit @ $90), then the bottom line revenue going straight to Nintendoland*,** just for these four games is $1.13 billion.

* retail markup ignored, but it's probably minimal due to consumer demand
** Sakurai probably got a whole buncha dosh for Smash, so not everything went to Nintendo

Is a shooter. Please, don't get in to a fight about whether a game where you are given a huge variety of guns to shoot indiscriminantly in the streets is a "shooter" or not.

I wonder how Rockband 2 came in for the Wii for the month. Someone really dropped the ball with the release window there it would seem.

Since you went and edited your post I will edit mine. You are dead wrong. It's sandbox game plain and simple. Last time I looked it was listed in the sandbox/third-person action adventure genre not the shooter genre. IGN/Wiki, Et Al agrees. Kthanksbuy.

Did you guys know that Nintendo didn't develop Guitar Hero?

Wow.

I was so busy looking at PS3s crap numbers, that I hadn't noticed how good PSP is doing!

I mean, it didn't move any software, but good hardware numbers for the 'dead handheld'. lol... Yahoo failed.

Sony needs to put more support behind the system, it actually sells and it's profitable unlike a certain other system they have on the market.

HOLY CRAP @ Nintendo! :O Though still from the DS and not Wii. WTF @ Mario Kart DS making the top 10. o_O

Holy crap, wonder how many of those GHWT numbers on Wii were the bundled version? If the big bundle was anywhere near the top, we may be looking at the most revenu a single game's brough in a month ever.

Is there anything really that surprising here. I don't really do NPD threads, but what is the big hoopla about?

360- 199
Wii - 249
PS3- 399

Isn't it obvious who would sell more. Maybe, I should just stay out of these NPD threads, not for me I guess.

PSP is great for Sony, not for anyone else.

Now where the hell did I hear that before?
