So much of that information is just wrong.

Half of all Wii game sales are music games in the USA? Lets be realistic here:

Through March 193m Wii games shipped in the Americas.

23m are Wii Sports.

Thats 170m.

It looks like lifetime, about 55% of that 170m is third party in the Americas. That would be 90m games. The best selling music games on Wii have barely topped 4m - and thats worldwide. There is no way in hell that " Guitar Hero and Rock Band are responsible for one-half of all Wii software sales in the US. That's a little-known fact, but a telling one – something akin to Sony's successes with SingStar, as outlined above"

Does anyone really think those two franchises account for 85m Wii games? Even if they meant half of third party Wii games I doubt they add up to 40-45m either. Its probably 6m for Guitar Hero games, 2m for Rockband games, and maybe another 1 million for the less games. Theoretically, on a revenue basis it could be possible since the games cost more, but there is no way in hell that statement is "a fact" on a unit basis.
