Third party titles do sell on the Wii, graphs prove it
Nintendo’s sent Gamedaily some snazzy looking graphs proving that third-party titles do sell on its little, white and waggly machine.
Joystiq put on some graph-glasses and and broke things down for us all:
“For the first 20-months at market, which is pretty much what the above graph shows, this is the breakdown:
- Wii: 60 million software units total, 56% are third-party units or 33 million (Nov. ’06 through June ’08)
- Xbox 360: 35 million software units, 84% third-party or 29 million (Nov. ’05 through June ’07)
- PS3: 25 million software units, 82% third-party or 20 million (Nov. ’06 through June ’08)”
Myth scotched. Wii loves third-parties. Loves them.

We just need another graph, or better yet a pie chart, to tell us how much of that 56% are actually any good…

20 million of the 25 million PS3 games sold were third party? Huh.

How many of those 33 million Wii titles were actually any good, though?

“Bollocks”, say Microsoft.
