According to this site, since the launch of the X360 up until today, 364 games have been launched for the current gen consoles.
141 on the Wii, 120 on the X360 and 103 on the PS3.
Out of these 364 games, only 61 broke the 100k mark (16.7%): 36 on the Wii, 19 on the PS3 and 6 on the X360.
25.5% of games broke the 100k mark on the Wii, 18.5% on the PS3 and 5% on the X360.
Of course userbases influence these numbers, but still, the amount of decent hits games on home consoles this gen is surprisingly low. Maybe console gaming in Japan is in a downfall, and home consoles maybe in danger for next gen. Who believes portable gaming will end up killing console gaming?
I still find it weird to see so many games bomb every week, like they end up selling less than 50k even on the Wii, where if 1% of the people buy the game, it will have 70k sales.

Bets with Conegamer:
Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
