Wii to ultimately finish last in software?

[Kerotan]

Just noticed over on chertz that the Wii is in last place software wise.  PS3 just after passing it and will end up well ahead over the next 3 years.  

Now I know chertz ain't an accurate source but it's going to end up way way ahead.  360 already passed it and likewise will end up far ahead.  

Not sure if it's happened before but could it be that the hardware winner of last gen is the software loser?  

When all is said and done hardware should be
1. Wii
2. PS3
3. Xbox 360

Software
1. PS3
2. 360
3. Wii

As an overall contest when you consider both hardware and software last gen was incredibly close.  I don't think we will ever see the likes of that again.

Yeah last gen was crazy how close everything ended up.

I'm still hoping PS3 will pass Wii in hardware though. Wouldn't it be awesome if the 4 best selling systems were PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4 haha.

I wonder how the software shipments stand? VGC is pretty bad for software

Sony should just stuff the channels up front 30 million and then discontinue the ps3.

Well nintendo announces ltd software per system. Are they close?



I see chartz has wii at 944.32 shipped, so the're pretty far off.

Chertz is pretty spot on with wii software and many ps3 games are heavily undertaked so you can probably bet on ps3 being well ahead already.  

Oh and if 360 finishes first for software,  it will be like a 3 way time.  

1 points for 3rd, 2 for 2nd and 3 for 1st.

Hardware:
3 points Nintendo
2 points Sony
1 point Microsoft

Software:
3 points Microsoft
2 Sony
1 Nintendo

They all finish on 4.

Statistically, they're within 5%, so they are considered good.  It's silly.

In their database of actual numbers they're spot on.

And by that I mean when you look at their weekly charts and check the figure.

That's only tracked software. VGChartz doesn't track every game ever made, so they have the 944 number to represent total software shipments.

Where??

[the-pi-guy]

At the waaay bottom of the Wii page.

[Dr. Pezus]

At the waaay bottom of the Wii page.

Oh forgot they had that.

Well, it's wrong in any case. They've shipped ~907m

Yeah that's wrong but we know the actual numbers.  

When PS3 and 360 hit a billion retail do you think Sony and Microsoft will announce it?
