I like how 3 of them have Wii in the title, and 3 have Mario.... That tells you something doesn't it? The only software that is really selling is made by Nintendo.

 I agree that it reveals something about the Wii (although please note that few games on any platform sell at least five million, so our sample is hardly representative of third-party sales). That said, I don't think you're taking the appropriate lessons from the data. I concede that most of the big sellers for the Wii are first-party efforts, but tell me honestly, how many third-party Wii games do you think "deserve" to go platinum? And if your response is "But Carnival Games sold one-million", perhaps you should think about what that really says, namely that far from Wii owners not "rewarding" good efforts with sales, they're willing to spend their money on games that so many of you feel don't deserve a dime. Isn't that the precise opposite of "third-party games don't sell on the Wii"?
