So that's up to 19 games (if I counted correctly), but they account for 9 of the 30 million sellers. However, of the next 10 or so games that are over 900,000 (many of which I expect will eventually top 1m), there are none.

Looking at those top MG titles, they seem to tilt heavily towards games released early in the Wii's life cycle, which makes sense. The went for the WiiSports market, with cheap and easy games, but saturation made it harder for later MG titles to break through.
