Then why do Wii owners buy more games than PS3 owners?

Because every game Nintendo makes is not some sub niche off a niche. Their games aren't 'third person shooter RPG hybrids' Or 'third person shooter action adventure' games. They can address a wider market, and im not talking about the audience of the consoles im talking about how the console is designed to address the audience. The PS3 is designed for people who buy more than x number of games per year and Sony releases a wide variety of small selling titles to keep their small rabid hardcore subset fanbase satiated. But this rabid talkative hardcore fanbase likes to think its all there is in regards to Sony but it isn't and the lower software sales in general reflect a userbase which isn't as satisfied as the Wiis.

I'm not talking total. Take a look at the tie ratios. They can be found on this site.
More Wii software is sold per Wii, than PS3 software is sold per PS3.

Which is what I was talking about. More satisfied audience = > total reach per title. Since they make games which most can at least enjoy they earn greater effectiveness from their 1st party efforts. This is reflected in the tie ratio, but what I was getting at is that Sony caters to a small niche which is why their games reach a much smaller proportion of their userbase. The fact that Sony caters to the smaller hardcore/core audience doesn't mean that their entire audience is that group, nor does it mean that these people are satisfied with their 1st/3rd party efforts either.
