Wii violent game sales in order of Metacritic score (cause it is presented in a nice list):
Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition - 1.54m
Metroid Prime 3 - 1.5m
No More Heroes - 0.39m
MadWorld - 0.07m~
Bully - 0.4m
Call of Duty - 1.02m
The house of the dead - 0.18m
Smackdown vs Raw - 0.89m
The Godfather - 0.13m
Resident Evil:Umbrela Cronicles - 1.26

PS3 violent games list blablabla:

GTA - 5.51
CoD4 - 4.11
Biochock - 0.36
MGS4 - 3.89
Oblivion - 2.65
Killzone 2 - 1.24
Fallout 3 - 1.35
Orange Box - 0.2
Dead space - 0.58
Uncharted - 2.32

And the PS3 equivalents to Wii games (where available) so we compare aples to aples:
COD - 4.1m
Smackdown vs raw - 0.63m
The godfather - 0.2m

The rest are on PS2. Won't compare to Xbox360 cause it has better numbers.

We can see that even the equivalent games sell better on PS3 (ranging from slightly to strongly), even though the install base is 44% of that of the Wii, and even though there are many violent games on the PS3 to satisfy.

So yes, MadWorld would have sold better on the other consoles.

Wait, why didn't you list COD 3?  Is it because it completely messes up your point?

COD 3 Wii - 1.15 M
COD 3 PS3 - 0.63 M

Then the Wii didn't even get COD 4, which was the big critical and comercial success that made the franchise what it is today.  So it is difficult to compare this franchise after COD 3 because Wii owners didn't get what many consider to be the best game in the franchise.

(From what I have heard about COD 3 Wii, it wasn't even a very good game anyway, which further hurt the COD franchise on the Wii.)
