Wondering about Wii game sales

[mike_intellivision]

This point suffers from (a) selective data section and (b) lack of comparison.

The three top-selling Xbox 360 games (Halo 3, CoD4, GTA IV) have sold 26.64M -- 89.91% of the console sales of 29.63M.

The three top-selling PS3 games (GTA IV, CoD 4, MGS 4) have sold 13.65M -- 63.28% of the console sales of 21.57M.

The three top-selling Wii games (Wii Play, Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii) have sold 56.69M -- 115.99% of the console sales of 48.79M.

Now people might object to Wii Play being included, so let's look at the figures with out.

The top three-selling full Wii games (Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii, SSBB) have sold 42.21M -- 86.51% of the console sales -- or just slightly smaller than the percentage as the Xbox 360.

The three games listed in the OP (Mario Kart Wii, SSBB, SMG) have sold 32.09M -- 65.77% of console sales -- still a higher percentage than the top three selling PS3 games.

So even when you compare apples to oranges, the Wii comes out looking decently. And those results should not be a surprise since the Wii and PS3 have sold about the same number of games per console as one another while the Xbox 360 has a higher per console sales rate.
