Is the Wii a fad? By Don Reisinger of CNET

At this point, we're apparently beyond the "When will the PS3/360 dominate?" articles and on to the "Well, the Wii is dominating. Will that ever stop?" ones.

He makes valid points: obviously, if third party software never sells on the Wii, then third parties will stop supporting it. Clearly, that's true. But we haven't seen much strong support yet -- and what little we've seen has sold well. Consider this: every game on the Wii that has a metascore over 80 has sold at least 1 million copies, save Madden 07. 

WTF? Only 3 of 7 games which got at least an 80 have sold 1 million copies so far. None of those to do so are 3rd party games.

1	Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, The	2006	95
2	Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition	2007	91
3	Metroid Prime 3: Corruption	2007	90
4	Super Paper Mario	2007	85
5	WarioWare: Smooth Moves	2007	83
6	Madden NFL 07	2006	81
7	Trauma Center: Second Opinion	2006	80

(Game Rankings lists the same 7 games with an 80 score with at least 5 reviews.)

However, RE4 Wii is a big success story, which may reach 1M. Trauma Center is getting a sequel, and was certainly a success story for Atlus. And of course MP3 will reach 1M soon enough.

So every game above 80 except Madden is a success story, for sure. But your statement was simply false.
