Multiplatform casual games sell more on HD than Wii

As Majin has said, bundles like that don't count (at least comparing game to game.... they should for the most part count towards total software)

Let's look at the games in question:

Kung Fu Panda:

Marvel Ultimate Alliance:
(give me a minute on this I can only find the Wii version)

As you can see, the X360 versions were trending below the Wii until they were bundled..... Bundles can make a big differene to the sales of the specific bundled game... Wii Sports is an odd one because it is helping the system as much as the system helps it.... but if it were not bundled then at best it would only be around where Wii Fit is at the moment, perhaps a bit higher but not much.

Here is Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

Great post by the way.

Several of those games (Panda, Lego, Marvel) look like the combined HD sales are beating the Wii's sales before the large leap from bundled sales.

The argument that a large chunk of sales from bundles is fair, but the OP's position is still pretty solid.
