Actually, the games that have sold the most over the past two years have been the faddish games. But if you look back over the course of gaming's history games in the more traditional genres: platformers, action adventure, rpg, shooters, fighers, racers, sports games have sold many times the amount of games that Wii Sports (whose sales can easily be discounted as its a pack-in), have sold many times more copies than the totals for Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Play, and Wii Music have. Also, if you look at the numbers for current games in tradional genres on the PS3 versus the same games on the Wii, the PS3 has been dominating or holding its own against the Wii in most of them. Uncharted > No More Heroes, Ratchet and Clank Future > Okami, Resistance > Metroid Prime 3.
Heavens to Murgatoids.
