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.

 

 

Going by 20th week of each game:

Kund Fu Panda: 167,005 PS3    201,114 Xbox360     290,589 Wii (Wii 44%)
Lego Indiana Jones: 361,551 PS3     494,204 Xbox360     745,747 Wii (Wii 46%)

Looks pretty close to the Wii's market share at the time.

What was this again?

Please reread my statement.

Using your numbers:

167 + 201 = 368 > 290

361 + 494 = 755 > 745

Yes I know that the combined total is greater than the total for the Wii (notice I went to the trouble to calculate percentages for you.) I was just pointing out that the ratio was probably similar to the install bases of the Wii vs HD cosoles at the time. I didn't really want to dig up when these games hit 20 weeks to be sure.

And sorrry, the underlined portion of this isn't really directed to you. I was just wondering what conclusion we should take from this regardless of how we collect data.
