The greater the console base, the larger the chances are that people buy it for a single game or group of games.
Look at the PS2. It has sold 130M games. But only 4 games have reported 10M sales and only 12 have reported 5M sales. But it does have 206 million sellers.
The Wii has been out for a much less amount of time and has 4 games with 10M in sales and 9 with 5M in sales. It only has 51 million sellers though.
From this, one can conclude the Wii is doing a much better job in moving hyper hits but not as a good a job in moving normal hits than the PS2. Of course, the analysis might change if you factored out the annual sports game user casual update purchases.
