When I saw this excellent thread yesterday, I thought: Why must we always limit ourselves to PS3 vs. 360? Why do we not include Wii? So, I made this thread to hopefully make it easier for you to compare and contrast the highest selling 3rd party exclusives on the PS3 vs. the Wii. Do the results surprise you?
| PS3 3rd Party Exclusives: |
Wii 3rd Party Exclusives: |
| Modern Warfare 2 - 10.01m |
Just Dance 2 - 9.26m |
| GTA IV - 9.28m |
Just Dance - 6.79 |
| Battlefield 3 - 5.76m |
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games - 4.28m |
| Metal Gear Solid 4 - 5.67m |
Carnival Games - 3.89m |
| Assassin's Creed II - 5.03m |
EA Sports Active - 3.81m |
| Red Dead Redemption - 4.90m |
Mario & Sonic at the London Olympic Games 2012 - 3.11m |
| Final Fantasy XIII - 4.86m |
Cooking Mama: Cook Off - 2.81m |
| Resident Evil 5 - 4.74m |

| Assassin's Creed - 4.42m |
Sonic and the Secret Rings - 2.55m |
| Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - 4.09m |

Interesting facts:
- The top 10 selling 3rd party exclusives sold 58.76m on PS3 and 41.6m on Wii. That's a difference of 17.16m
- PS3 top 10 has 8 franchises. Wii has 8 (or 7 if you count Mario & Sonic with Sonic)
- PS3's 9th highest selling 3rd party exclusive sold more than WIi's 3rd highest selling
- Assassin's Creed is a huge presence on the PS3 list
- 7/10 games on the Wii list are Dance/Sports/Fitness games.
- 6/10 games on the PS3 list include shooting in their gameplay in a major way
- Sonic is still popular!

Those aren't exclusive titles on the PS3 list. Exclusives are games that only appear on one platform. Those are games made and marketed with multi-console budgets. True PS3 3rd party exclusives would not stand up to the Wii's lineup.
