Well, you can check the US charts on this site. Third-party Wii games in the U.S. currently are outperforming third-party PS3 games, but not always. For example, Marvel Ultimate Alliance is doing better on Wii while Madden 07 is doing better on PS3. But the best-selling third-party games between the two systems have been on Wii (Rayman, Red Steel). I think the Japan numbers are a little disturbing for Nintendo, or should be. There really isn't any very successful software between the two systems, although there are some semi-successes like Gundam Musou (whose publisher probably expected more given the hype). Poor sales of series on Wii that have done well/okay elsewhere (Dragon Ball Z, Sonic, Gundam) must be alarming to third parties who hope for big sales on Wii. But there still hasn't been a blockbuster third-party game released in Japan for the system, so I think we will have a better idea when games like Dragon Quest Swords are released.
