Yes.
But I'm getting a little tired of DSE being waved around like God's Gift to Man. It's from a franchise that wasn't established, it wasn't marketed, it wasn't hyped, it's not terribly original, hell, it's not even one of the highest rated Wii games on metacritic and I often see that qualification tossed around in sales arguments. The most egregious example out of this is that DS2 was announced two months later and a Wii version was no where in sight. EA had no intention of pushing Dead Space on Wii as a serious franchise. If they were, they would have taken a similar approach to Capcom by establishing the franchise on Wii before sending out the throwaway spinoff (RE4 -> UC).
I find it particularly strange that Sega is using EA's non-efforts as a measurement as I was always under the impression that their Wii efforts sold more. Not to mention they had better reception in the community.
