I mean, lets look at NPD months for an example, the fact is an Xbox 36 game is usually #1. NOT a Wii game. I mean Wii has more sold hardware in USA than 360, and that hardware has massively more newer users than 360 since all it's sales are in the last 2 years versus 3 years for 360 (newer owners buy more games).

 

Shouldn't a Wii game be number 1? But no, almost always a 360 game. August: Madden 360. Sep: Star Wars FU 360, Oct: Will be Fable 2 360. November: Will be Gears 2 360. December: Unsure, could be Gears 2 again or a Wii game imo.

Now the UK charts may say otherwise but there's on trend here, the majority of these top 10's are PS2, PS3, PC, Xb360, anything but Wii games. Wii usually charts just one or two in the top ten. Not befitting the monstrously popular hardware imo.

 

I imagine Japan charts actually look the same, 8 of 10 this week will be Ps3, 360, PS2, games, even though those games sell anemically in Japan they still probably take 7-8 of the top ten slots versus 2-3 Wii games.
