Not sure if you understood the original context and intentionally went the wrong way with this comment or just misunderstood the context. The statement wasn't about overall top seller splits per publisher. It was splits on individual games per system. The joke being that knowing the split for a single top-selling game on a Nintendo platform would be somewhat useless, as it's usually an exclusive, so there aren't other systems for the game to sell on. Per system splits. Not per publisher splits.



Edit:

For anyone who may not be familiar with the previous format being discussed, here is the top games in October 2012.







Note the order of systems listed on multi-platform titles is not the same for each game. The likely reason from the time was that the order of the systems showed which systems sold the most for that particular game. e.g. NBA 2K13 sold most on 360 that month, and though Wii is listed there, it probably sold a minuscule amount compared to the PS3+360 total for the month. Comparatively, Pokemon Black 2, a game that would've sold very well on a Nintendo platform, was exclusive to the Nintendo platform making a platform split unnecessary. Note how there is no publisher split. Elandyll probably knew that the split was by system and not by publisher when he made his joke, but more recent sales followers may not have been aware of the original context.
