hm, counting million sellers shows Wii has more party/sports/fitness/platformer/adventure and simulation, lacking largely in fighting, racing where it's got the biggest sellers of the gen by far!?

Wii hasn't got as many shooters and action games, where Ps3/Xbox360 million sellers are found, but still has a respectable amount of million sellers in that area, so i wouldn't say it's lacking, it's just not focused there

if you take into account that Wii has best racing (MKW) and best fighter (SSBB), then it is not really lacking in these genres because it's got the top titles of those genres because sales are concentrated there, so million sellers cannot say Wii lacks racers or fighters

not to mention that Wii has obviously the higest number of under-appreciated, highly rated by low selling games by far (and none of them are party titles or sports) , so million sellers is still not quite valid for saying Wii is only party/sports

Considering the HD twins have had far more game support and their Meta>Wii's I can't understand how you came to that conclusion

i know HD twins have much more game support and higer meta-score, it's a fact, i would never deny that

it's just that Wii has many games which compared the the meta-scores sold bad, and all of them are in the action/shooter/rpg area, they are good games but not million sellers, so just counting million sellers does not prove Wii lacks in those genres

HD twins games sell accoarding to meta-score MOST of the times, so counting their million sellers distribution is more accurate

however, counting Wii million seller genres, only proves that the Wii audience is interested mostly in those genres, does not show how may good games the Wii has on each genre, take No More Heroes, Conduit, Little King's Story, Scarface, GodFather, high ratings, no sales because of Wii-type of audience, but still exist on Wii for the minority

sure the HD got some under-appreciated games, but not even close to how many the Wii has got
