That's because Nintendo 1st party is on a new level that any other company can reach.

Wii Top 10 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> X360 + PS3 top 10

That is brutal and an amazing counter!!! Even if u tape together the PS3 and the Xbox 360, they will never reach those sales!! (software) Now, the PS list has only cars and guns... Oh and some weird looking dolls... Same for the Xbox list but remove the doll and put some kiddie sports! =)

Auch...

The crying from a lot of Nintendo-haters is deafening.

This thread is pointless!

It's unfair to compare only sales numbers without considering that the budget to develop an ordinary Wii game is 1/3 of an ordinary PS360 game.

Yeah I kinda have to agree here. It's not fair since Nintendo games are so much better!

Yeah, totally unfair, someone should make a thread asking not to compare Nintendo games w anything else cause they are better and sell way more!!!! That way the PS and Xbox fans don't give empty arguments! ;D

I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Actually, the Wii isn't that much higher than the PS3 & 360. When you exclude any games with 'Wii' in the title, the list would be virtually identical.

I'm sure if the PS3 had games with 'PS3' in the title, they would sell as much as those Wii games. The difference is: Sony doesn't implement dirty tactics for sales like Nintendo does. Sony wants to earn success. That doesn't include putting the name of the console in a game's title to mislead consumers.

The only reason Wii games sell so much is because game have the word 'Wii' in their title.

Well that's convenient.

Just exclude Mario Kart Wii, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Play, Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus to make it seem like less of a slaughter. Contrary to popular belief, only Wii Sports was significantly bundled. Even then, it stopped being bundled (primarily) a long time ago.

I can maybe give you Wii Play at the most, because that was bundled with Wiimotes (but not all of them) in the beginning.

I think Wii Sports and Kinect Adventures! have to be removed from the list.

Other question: Is Wii selling anything else than first-party game???

Apparently not

Sucks that Just Dance 2 sold as much as Grand Theft Auto IV, a 'big' AAA game.

Ya you're right. Sony could easily sell 10 million more copies of each exclusive if they slapped PS3 on the title. They just prefer to lose billions of dollars instead of actually making money. They'd rather earn 5 million game sales than use "dirty tactics" and sell 20 million copies and actually make a profit. Lulz.

Are you serious? Seriously serious? You must be a business major.

I just noticed,

Wii #10 sells more than PS3 #1
