Trolling?  Hardly.  It's the truth.  I own a Wii.  It barely gets touched.  Many people feel the same.  How many people out there own a Wii simply for Wii Sports and/or Wii Fit and only use it for parties and exercise.  I stand by my statement.  3rd party sales suck because despite the large number of consoles sold, a decent percentage of those only get limited use or use for a very specific reason.

But now the really surprising one for a lot of people:

27,916,841 - PS2 (All publishers combined) Top 20 LTD
22,378,848 - Wii (Nintendo published games only!) Top 20 LTD

The top 20 Nintendo 1st-party games on the Wii have already almost matched the lifetime top 20 sales on the PS2. Think about that for a second. The Wii has only been out for 2.5 years, and still has a userbase less than half of the PS2. With Wii Sports Resort, NSMB Wii, Wii Fit Plus, Mario & Sonic @ Winter Olympics, continued back catalog sales - the Top 20 Nintendo 1st-party titles could quite possibly surpass the top 20 overall PS2 titles by the end of this year (only 3 years on the market!). I bet very few people realized just what an insane amount of software Nintendo has been selling on the Wii in Japan.

Wii owners must be the healthiest folks on the planet.
