From Nintendo's perspective, of course it is. I was just saying that many criticize this approach because it doesn't help 3rd parties (Nintendo gamers only buy Nintendo games). As I said, it can be viewed as a negative. Accurate as is in more up-to-date, or accurate as in correct? Because AFAIK, those numbers are correct (from NPD and/or Nintendo/Microsoft/Sony). And actually, I was bored and checked out a few more articles. MS announced a 8.2 ratio a month or so ago IIRC (up from 8.1 it had in September), and I think it was noted that the Wii was approaching a 6.0 ratio back in January. Don't recall seeing any updated PS3 numbers, but given the differences in the other two systems, I doubt it is much better than the 5.3 it had back then. http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=22829 http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=21968 Again, maybe third-party ratios are relatively bad on the Wii, but it doesn't seem like overall sales are bad from what I can tell. In fact, Wii > PS3 it seems. Of course, PS3 owners don't do a good job of buying many games either (at least in the US).
