Um no we didn't. Infact we have established quite the opposite. It is selling third party software at a faster rate than the 360 or PS3 when compared from launch. That is third party software only. The attach rate is so good because people are buying a lot of third party software in addition to buying a lot of first party softwareeven when you completely exclude Wii Sports and Wii Play.

 And that list does not suck for me. I have both a 360 and a Wii. Guess which console I buy more games for. Guess which console has more games that appeal to me. Guess which console I will continue buying more games for. You are continuing to ignore all data presented to you and rambling on about your inaccurate points. Another interesting thing to note is the Nintendo list of third party million sellers has 5 more titles than what Vgchartz currently has.

 You are welcome to continue thinking that any game that does not break a million means that no one is buying it. I clearly can't dispel that complete distortion of reality. I will say again though that you are looking at random statistics that help your case while completely ignoring the ones that prove it wrong. That is cherry picking at its very worst. Should you ever want real answers to your questions I will continue to be here posting them.

Interesting article.  You should check it out, along with a more detailed piece, which is linked at the bottom of that page.

where is that graph from nintendo's financial statement about 3rd party sales? Someone post it that'll prove your point. Still the 3rd party games don't sell on wii will people will continue anyway but at least this thread will end.

I could be wrong but from the history on this site most of the people complaining about lack of third party support on the Wii are not Wii haters but actual Wii owners..

 That is, infact, one of the sources of data I am using. That attach rate is from NPD which (surprise!) lacks Wii Play and Sports. This means without those games it is massively outselling the PS3 in software right now due to the fact that it is massively outselling it in number of consoles.

 Beyond that though the numbers you have chosen to cherry pick are very bad for your arguement. The Wii has sold 15.4 million units using the numbers from that chart. That means it sold 47.7million units of third party software. The Xbox 360 had sold 8 million units as of the time the chart references. That means it sold 41.7 million units of third party software. Seems the cherry you picked does nothing but support my arguement.

 I say again, your arbitrary number is meaningless. All you have proven is people are buying a broad range of software for the Wii rather than specific titles. This essentially invalidates you arguement that they get hung up on Wii Play as well. Good luck with your next cherry.

 It always seemed to me to be a pretty even mix of both. NPD seems to disagree with that assertion though. If the Wii has been poor in moving third party software then every console has been poor at moving it at this point in the life cycle (at least for this generation). The Wii is selling third party softwareat the best rate of any console when compared from launch to present. It might not move it as well as the 360 currently does (I have not bothered to compare it) but it does it better than what the 360 did 2 years in and better than the PS3 does currently.

@fastyxx: How does that help your argument?

It clearly shows the Wii selling more software than the PS3. That's also unincluding Wii Sports - people conviniently think the game is only played just because it's bundled, yet ignore the fact it has got a 47% attach rate in Japan, where it is not bundled.

Also, even though it has a smaller third party attach rate, it's still selling more software due to its larger install base. It's not a mystery as to why third parties haven't come up with any big hits. They're putting all the popular franchises on the HD consoles.

As to your earlier quote:

Here's the problem: you're forcing your opinion as if it's fact. I think many popular games on HD consoles geniunely suck, but I don't whine about it being bad for gaming.

If you use the numbers from this site:

360 has sold roughly 125 million third party games, wii roughly 63 million third party games and ps3 roughly 61 million third party games.

edit:

Worldwide and ltd, of course.

It's just that good.

In a costco i was contracted to work at Saturday they sold over 60 in a day.  Crazy stuff.  They had like 80 little cardboard holders on a big display... come sunday they only had like 8 left... which were gone by like noon.

 I am not sure what you are getting at here. Are you saying my numbers are wrong, or trying to expand upon them? I assure you the numbers I have are right as NPD is a much much better source for software sold than Vgchartz for a number of reasons. The Wii has almost certainly sold more than that in third party software as it is at more than 2/3rds of that with only USA data.
