on 360 its 62 third party million sellers, the pool of third party titles on the Wii is just much poorer than it is on the HD systems
if Wii selling all that third party software was actually indicative of the third party quality on the Wii, there would be a ton more million sellers than just 43, it would be closer to the 360's figure.
Sales of certain games this year prove its not just people holding off, because those games sold, it proves that those games appealed, problem is most of those games wnet to people who already owned the Wii, didn't push hardware.
But NSMB Wii is pushing a lot of Hardware, according to ioi, thanks to NSMB, Wii is only slightly down yoy this week, that's a lot considering how much it was down before, and next week he's expecting it to be up yoy, so its not the recession or the collapsing market, its the lack of games, third party doesn't deliver the games on Wii, which is why Nintendo games have to do the pushing
