Here is the top 20 software. It can't be good the playstation family had only 2 titles.

http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=21906

This was the predicted top 10:

Games (No Bundles only)	Platform	Publisher	Sales
1	Wii Play	Wii	Nintendo	1.64m
2	Mario Kart Wii	Wii	Nintendo	1.54m
3	Call of Duty: World at War	X360	Activision	1.44m
4	Wii Fit	Wii	Nintendo	1.37m
5	Guitar Hero: World Tour	Wii	Activision	0.86m
6	Gears of War 2	X360	Microsoft	0.85m
7	Call of Duty: World at War	PS3	Activision	0.76m
8	Mario Kart DS	DS	Nintendo	0.71m
9	Guitar Hero: World Tour	X360	Activision	0.70m
10	Wii Music	Wii	Nintendo	0.66m

So we really overtracked GH: WT on X360 is nowhere in the top 20

Didnt Nintendo say WiiMusic was #9, but the top 20 list has it at #11.

Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Maybe it is 9th in the revenue chart. If they count WiiPlay as a $10 game when looking at software revenue it would fall below Wii Music. And of course Mario Kart DS has a lot lower price as well.
