| Smeags said: Wii is definitely an interesting study when it comes to its million selling games. Yep, the PS3 overtook it this year (and will hold that lead) when it comes to the overall amount of million sellers (congrats to the PS3 for that), but when it came to looking at the Wii and it's list of million selling games, the big question was never really "how many million sellers can it get?" (although it's still an important and legitimate question) but rather "how high can these million sellers go?". We've never seen a console with games that put up these kinds of numbers. Wii is about to have 9 (Super Mario Galaxy was adjusted down to 9.96 million, but it should easily hit the 10 million mark soon) games that have sold over 10 million units. With Just Dance 2 still in the top 50 (and it's at 8.95 million), it also has a chance of clearing 10 million. Even the Grand-daddy of them all, the PS2 (with software sales of 1.6 billion!) has five games that sold over 10 million copies in its catalog. Only of these games (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) has passed 20 million units (Wii has 7). Heck, even the 360 will surpass PS2 when the inevitable Call of Duty comes out this holiday season. I know this is old news to some, as these huge selling games are a part of what made (and continues to make) the Wii an interesting specimen of a console. But it's still important to note methinks. I even wonder if Just Dance 3 can make it to the 10 million mark... |
Well I'd use 20m as Wii's achievement, as X360 should come out on top of the Wii. (5 as of now, GTAIV, GTAV, Reach, Halo 4, COD 9)
