Actually at the moment they appear to be equal for third party million sellers, but not Wii beating them both combined like you said.

There are 103 million sellers on the PS3 with Sony taking up 23 leaving 80 third party sellersand 117 on the Wii with Nintendo taking up 37 so you got 80 third party

Just as an addition, Wii SW is overtracked on the whole "Million Sellers" thing. We've had the Wii at 116/117 1 Million sellers since like, March. For the March Fiscal results, Nintendo actually said that there were 103 1 Million sellers on Wii.

14 games were overtracked, and still are to this day.

OT:
Dragon Quest IX isn't exactly what I'd call "Hardcore". Nintendo don't seem to think it is neither, with adverts like this for the game.

I usually avoid the "core" debate, but seriously, any game that encourages you to put in literally hundreds of hours into a game, while never actually completing it, AND is a turned based, job system, JRPG, I can't see how you call DQIX NOT hardcore. Just sayin.
