The market being split between Sony and Microsoft makes it look as if HD consoles aren't the future; if you combine the game sales of the 360 and the PS3 they flat out dwarf the Wii especially with 3rd party sales. When the Wii games sell the 16+ million that successful HD games sell then talk about how its a sea change. There have been dozens of 10 million+ sellers on the PS systems over the years and very very few on Nintendo systems.  Whats the top selling 3rd party Wii game at?  A few million?  How is that the future of gaming?

I can't find an HD game that has sold 16+million... isn't GTAIV at 12 million or something?

 

10 million+ sellers on a Playstation system:

Grand Turismo (PS), Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2), Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (PS2), Grand Theft Auto III (PS2), Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (PS2)

Total number of 10 million+ sellers on a Playstation system: 5

10 million+ sellers on a Nintendo system:

Wii Sports (Wii), Wii Play (Wii), Wii Fit (Wii), Mario Kart Wii (Wii), Super Mario 64 (N64), Super Mario Bros (NES), Duck Hunt (NES), Super Mario Bros 3 (NES), Super Mario World (SNES), Super Mario Allstars (SNES), Pokemon Red/Blue (GB), Pokemon Yellow (GB), Tetris (GB), Pokemon Gold/Silver (GB), Super Mario Land (GB), Super Mario Land 2 (GB), Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire (GBA), Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green (GBA), Nintedogs (DS), New Super Mario Bros (DS), Brain Training (DS), Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (DS), Mario Kart DS (DS), More Brain Training (DS), Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS)

Total number of 10 million+ sellers on a Nintendo system: 25

 

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is nearly at 7,000,000 and is still selling.

 

 

Sort of strange that you quote a post asking about the list of top selling 3rd party games for the Wii, and then you give a list of games all of which were published by Nintendo (except for Mario & Sonic, but I'm willing to bet the use of Mario wasn't free).

 

The portion of his post that I highlighted doesn't say anything about 3rd party sales. Even if he was referring to 3rd party sales, his statement was still flat out wrong.
