People give far too much credit to the idea that Wii software is selling in vastly different patterns from past systems or the HD systems.
As the Wii install base explodes over the next 9 months, software sales are going to explode, and the number of million sellers is going to explode. Maybe the top games will have higher sales than in the past, but 4 or 5M extra for Brawl or Galaxy or Kart Wii over their predeccessors is not going to make it or break it for dozens and dozens of other games reaching an arbitrary mark like 1M. A high-selling system can facilitate both higher selling games and more of them.
I could list about 40 Wii games I think could sell 1M copies by the end of March 09, but I don't want to start list wars. I'll just reiterate my prediction: 55-60 million-selling Wii games by the end of March 09; the most million-sellers among the three systems by March 09.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
