Here's a thread talking about 73 million sellers at GDC:

So, Iwata at GDC in March says 73 million-sellers, fiscal '09 report says 54 million-sellers by the end of March, and VGC lists 51 games as million-sellers as of late April.

Either Iwata is a dirty, dirty liar, or financials are talking about sellthrough and not shipped.

Edit: Or is it possible that there are 19 downloadable games which have sold a million?

There's no way in hell any WiiWare or VC game has reached a million downloads yet.

I thought the popular explanation was that the 73 number combined Wii and DS sales? I never checked to see how rational that is, but it's what I kept hearing.
