Harry Potter is the name of the game (a multiplat), hard to say much about which consol that has sold the most, but the following could be stated. Resident Evil Wii version sold more on the Wii list than Harry Potter (but it come on position 3 (2 if we remove Wii Play)). Follow link to see Wii charts

Harry Potter was no big seller on PS3, entered the list below Tom Clancy, Resistance and Motorstorm. The last title didn't even entered the top 40 (all formats). So PS3 sales seems to be very little compared to Wii. Were there is 5 more games in the top 40 (all formats that sold worse). Follow link to see PS3 charts

An early look seems to indicate that the xbox360 sales of Harry Potter should be insignificant but xbox360 has 8 games before that all is in top 40.

But I guess that the real big seller is the PS2 version which took the lead of the PS2 charts.

Looking at other games than the first one, we can see that xbox360 had great software sales, at least 8 games in the top 20, white multiplat Tom Clancy and Harry we have 10 games.

The Wii software sales were also quit good, with 8 games in the top 25 which entered the list on Wii power alone.

PS3 software was not as good, only two games in the top 36, Tom Clancy and Resistance.

Final comment, Sonic Wii might have been a failure in USA and Japan but it seems to have been in the Top 40 since launch in UK. Of coursehow much software that response to is hard to say. Resistance seems to be the number one "system" seller as the only PS3 software that is quit stable in the top 40. Xbox360 is really strong in UK software always have software in the top 10.
