Isn't 2% like an average of 2.5m units sold per game? 2% seems high to me but I could be wrong......

Yeah, I should've said "good" games.

Even the best-selling PS2 games didn't go beyond 10-15% of the install base.

40% is absolutely unreal. Nintendo seldom gets 40%. They're lucky if they do.

Nintendogs sold about 25% of the DS's total sales so far.

Smash Bros Melee sold about 25% of the Gamecube's total sales.

So you're right about the ratio being higher than the best Nintendo games.

Except for Super Mario Bros 1, and Wii Sports  but those are bundles, so those don't actually qualify in this particular discussion.

 

And as someone stated, 40% of the Wii's current sales is still about 8-9 million. Plenty to have hit games.
