I think 'Misc' groups together some quite distinct genres - I'd say Mario Party and Zumba Fitness are less alike than some games that belong to separate categories.

Going back to why the initial focus on 5m+ sellers, it was also partly because of the fraction of total software sold that these games account for. Now obviously Wii Sports (as an almost-ubiquitous bundle) accounts for a significant fraction of Wii software sold, but even with that, the data shows that whatever genre you want to say it belongs to accounts for a lower fraction of Wii software sold than FPSes on the 360 (and possibly PS3). In fact, CoD alone accounts for a comparably significant fraction of HD software.

Castle crashers is considered a platformer?

Limbo? Just no.

Even Braid is a stretch.

I never said I expect people to agree that Wii has a much more diverse library than it's competitors (Even if, IMO, it is more diverse than 360's ) but the fact is this thread is about the 5 million milestone, and people are trying to negate that.

Also, there was no intention in the OP to suggest the Wii has a more diverse library - sales are irrelevant to that. The OP was simply designed to challenge a comment made in another thread - that, based on the wii games that had sold 20m+, Wii owners had the least diverse taste in games. To infer anything else from the OP is to misinterpret the OP.

No they don't? Especially these days, the only genres doing well on Wii are Dance and Fitness.

They're platformers whether you like it or not ...

Castle Crashers is a Beat'em up, not a platformer. Braid and Limbo ARE platformers though.

Agree to disagree, now, lifetime, the HD consoles are above and beyond Wii's diversity. Pretty much zero there to entertain the core gamer.

You can't jump in Castle Crashers. There are no platforms in Castle Crashers. It isn't a platformer.

Braid has platforming elements but it's mostly a puzzle game.

Limbo is what I would call a platformer.

Who are you to say so?

I'm not gonna make a list, but just you don't like Nintendo's first party, that doesn't make you a core gamer.
