A lot of talk gets thrown about from some how games are selling. Here are the games that sold over a million copies.

PS3 has 2 after being out 12 monthshttp://vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?name=&console=PS3&publisher=&sort=Total

Both games published by Sony

Wii has 8 after being out 12 months http://vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?name=&console=Wii&publisher=&sort=Total

Intersesting thing about the Wii's is that everyone says only 1st party games sell well. 2 of the 8 are published from Ubisoft.

360 has 25 after being out 24 months http://vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?name=&console=X360&publisher=&sort=Total

Some will say 360 only because of the 2 years but many of the games have been out less then a year like Madden 08,Bioshock,Forza 2, and a few others.

they are all short by what 2 months.

I think its almost fair.

Could be different in november.

So maybe we should wait till the end of november. see what PS3 and Wii did from november to november.

And see what the 360 has done from november 05-november 06-november 07

You don't count the starting month as the first month. The first month is from Nov to Dec.

You'd be suprised how many PS3 owners only play Madden, Live, and GTA.

I am really not worried about the date that much. Fine i will say around 12 months. I just think the sales are interesting.

For example myth one is that only first party games sell well on Wii even though 2 are published from Ubisoft. It seems it is more that way for PS3 since their only 2 games that sold over 1 million are both published by Sony.

360 is just killing with sales with 25. Averaged out that is just over 1 per month if you compare million seller games to months out.

Many on this forum say how great certain PS3 games are selling but it is just not true as we can see since after all this time only 2 on the list.

It seems it is more that way for PS3 since their only 2 games that sold over 1 million are both published by Sony. Despite the ps3's lack of any third party games on the list, the Wii only having 2 so farfor a console that has sold 10 million is not great.Nintendo still dominates the platform. I can fully undertand why people say those things and a couple of games isn't going to really change that.Lemmings are talking about this a lot too don't forget.

360 is just killing with sales with 25. Averaged out that is just over 1 per month if you compare million seller games to months out. Many on this forum say how great certain PS3 games are selling but it is just not true as we can see since after all this time only 2 on the list. If they are bragging aboutcertainps3games then there is some truth to that,Resistance has sold really well and Motorstorm has done well for the userbase. I don't see your big beef here.

I just realized the Gamecube has more million sellers than the Xbox 1.

Well im not really shocked by the 360s amount because its been well known for awhile now that there is a high attach rate per console. 360 owners just love to play games and that shows it

VGchartz isn't reliable for game sales.
