Core games outside of Mario could sell on Wii.

Twilight Princess is closing in on 7 million.

Monster Hunter Tri and Resident Evil 4 both cleared the 2 million mark.

Goldeneye 007 and Metroid Prime 3 are both about 1.8m. And if you count COD as "hardcore" in this context, then COD3, Wold at War, Modern Warfare, and Black Ops all sold between 1.3m and 2.2m.

That's fairly mediocre for a platform with 100 million sell through honestly. Zelda sold 5.8 million actually on the Wii, not 7 million, that's if you include GameCube numbers and that was buoyed a lot by the initial frenzy over the Wii. The PS4 and X1 will have 3+ million sellers in the core gamer demo before either of them hits 15 million sell through.

The best selling Wii third party games were predictably the casual ones -- Guitar Hero and Just Dance and Zumba Fitness and the like. 

VGChartz has Twilight Princess on Wii at 6.94m. http://www.vgchartz.com/game/4573/the-legend-of-zelda-twilight-princess/

And there are plenty more that aren't party/fitness/Wii-Sports-type games: Mario Galaxy at 11m, Galaxy 2 at 7.2m, Donkey Kong Country Returns at 6.13m, Sonic Secret Rings and Unleashed  at over 2 million each, Skyward Sword at 3.7m.
