Umm, problem, the Wii has never needed software before to sell...

So why did people get Wiis in the first place if not for the games?

For wii sports and Wii play? It is almost every week in the Top 50 (Probably always in the Top 50).

And Wii Sports and Wii Play aren't games? Also, Wii Play is really a no brainer because you get a Wiimote with the game.

Not to mention, LG[Infinite]'s point still stands: it doesn't matter if the system sold entirely on Wii Sports and Wii Play in the past...supply was bound to catch up with demand sooner or later and at this point we have to measure things differently.  Wii Sports and Wii Play weren't the last word in Wii software, if Wii Fit or Super Mario Galaxy are big bombs, then we have something to talk about.

This is another case of a couple of weekly charts being interpreted as a major trend.  Give me a couple of months of data showing this trend and then we'll talk.
