Comments:

 - the list is heavily populated with exclusive titles. Only 2 non-exclusive titles make the list, both of them high profile titles (Assassins Creed & GTA). This is slightly unusual, as popular perception would be that x-platforms should sell more, having a larger potential install base.

 - the big 3 from Ninty lead the list, and lead the Wii list. Heavenly Sword is the "most purchased" PS3 title, followed by LAIR. Halo3 unsurprisingly leads the 360 list.

 - 'No More Heroes' stands out the most in the list (most unexpected).  Currently above Assassins Creed, NiGHTS & Blue Dragon.

 - Super Paper Mario also stands out, considering that the title has already been released in the US & Japan.  

 - Of the Wii titles in the list, 5/11 are Nintendo published titles. The other 6 are 3rd-party titles (Capcom, Square Enix have 4 of these). 

 - Of the Sony titles, only 2 are not published by Sony - and both are cross-platform titles. Is it hard for other companies to have their PS3 exclusive titles get attention from gamers?

 - Of the 360 titles, only 3 are exclusive - with MS publishing 2 (Halo & Blue Dragon) & Mass Effect being the other.

Going to be interesting to see how Xmas sales for these titles compare to these figures!
