April NPD or Everyone Drinks except Nintendo

[DeathsHand]

Wii has the lowest game-to-console sales ratio of the three...
It has arguably the worst third-party support of any Nintendo console to date...
Critically speaking, it has by far the fewest games with an 80% or higher total ranking (according to gameranking) between the three consoles...
It's third-party support looks to stay pretty poor for the foreseeable future...
And it's first-party titles look to be heading into a dry spell after Nintendo got a bit top-heavy with their franchises for the first year and a half...

As for that GTA-influenced comparison chart... The game itself broke sales records worldwide, including one for total revenue brought in by ANY form of Entertainment Media ever...
It sold nearly as many copies in it's first week as Wii's top-selling, non-bundled game (Mario Galaxy) has since it's release...
And the game's two versions (currently) occupy in the two top spots on gameranking's all-time highest reviewed game chart...

I mean, outside of raw console sales, I just don't see the significance of the Wii when this new user base that's causing a large chunk of sales seems less interested in, you know... purchasing games...

I'm more interested in how things will play out over the long haul... And not just as they relate to consoles sold...
