Technically, Wii sales have been driven by Wii Sports more than any game released to date on the platform.

But if somebody wants to argue that hot new soft titles are responsible for driving console sales into a frenzy with each new release, I'd have to counter by saying the increased availability of hardware is far more responsible for those increased hardware sales, particularly in the NA region.

It's not possible to accurately gauge how much any particular soft title will push consumers to buy a Wii until inventory channels remain consistently stocked. Otherwise, it's more of an instance of "I'm buying a Wii when I have the money, and I'm able to find one on shelves."
