Here's a list of third party million sellers on Wii which had a launch greater than 200k:

Guitar Hero 3 - 276k

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - 268k

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles - 238k

Guitar Hero: World Tour - 237k


I didn't find any other third party titles which launched above 200k. So something to consider:

No third party game on the Wii has ever sold 300k on launch week.

 

The silly Dragon Quest game did.

Wow. That's the kind of sales curve you get when you attach a huge IP to a mediocre game, I guess.

Silly is right, this graph looks like a walk off a cliff:
