@mowe, you have a NES avatar yet Wii has "crap" games....


Anywho, yeah, by January the 3rd party market shift will be massively in Nintendo's favor.

 

What does me having an NES avatar have to do with anything. What I was saying was, pretty much only crappy third party games sell on the Wii. You're blinded by that bright white of your Wii if you think otherwise.

But then again, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm just basing my assumptions on the sales (or lack thereof) of Zack and Wiki, Okami, and No More Heroes.

Yes, you're wrong.

Top selling Wii third-party games in the Americas:

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

Activision

2,402,672

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

Sega

1,735,696

Carnival Games

Take 2

1,113,414

Rayman Raving Rabbids

Ubisoft

856,817

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga

LucasArts

844,332

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition

Capcom

825,382

Madden NFL 08

Electronic Arts

775,013

MySims

Electronic Arts

719,636

 

And that's just in the top 20.  Say what you will about the party games but just because you don't like it doesn't make it shovelware.  That title is reserved for crap like Hooked and King of Clubs Mini-Golf and Chicken Shoot.
