Reggie says most Wii games can make a profit with under a million sold.

the problem is praticaly no wii games ever reach the 1,000,000 mark. where as with HD 1,000,000 is a pretty common amount

This fallacy has been disproven repeatedly, Wii has 76 million sellers as of now.  That figure also doesn't account for multiplatform games that sold a million cumulatively with PS2 and/or PSP versions.

Also, 1m doesn't seem to be enough for most HD games to make a return.

Now if they mean "core" games, that's because most of those games on the Wii that would actually sell a million are rare. If they were more common instead of developers treating the system like a leper, those games would actually sell.
