Skylanders Giants on the Wii outsells PS3 and 360 versions combined, and Skylanders 1 on Wii in its 53rd week outsells the opening week of either one of the HD versions of Giants.

I assumed that a bigger chunk of that audience had left the Wii for the 360 by now.


Dont know where you got that assumption. Even if they did, doesnt mean they just stopped playing their Wiis. I imagine that most of these sales are for children who are interested in the game, and those tykes would still be playing on Wii while the older teens or adults would be playing on HDs. Hell id go so far as to say, the people who migrated from Wii to 360 did so to get away from games like these

The Wii has declined in popularity this year and the 360 is the next most casual-friendly console so it is well positioned to scoop up some of the Wii audience. Look at Lego Baman this year; sold slightly better on 360 than Wii, while in the past the Wii version always sold the most. I thought the same thing might happen with Skylanders.
