Are games not from Nintendo on the the wii successful, considering it's large userbase most top sellers(min one million) are from Nintendo.

Most games made on Wii that aren't crappy sell well, yeah. Case in point: Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, de Blob, Sonic and the Secret Rings.

According to NPD, the Wii sells much more 3rd party software than the X360 does.

According to VC Chartz Wii has 42 million sellers, of which 17 are from Nintendo and the rest, 25, are from 3rd parties.



but ... but... but what about my favorite messageboard myths?  People only buy games with Mario in the title right?



PC + Wii owners unite.  Our last-gen dying platforms have access to nearly every 90+ rated game this gen.  Building a PC that visually outperforms PS360 is cheap and easy.    Oct 7th 2010 predictions (made Dec 17th '08)
PC: 10^9
Wii: 10^8

No 3rd party MEGA hits yet, except perhaps guitar hero III, carnival games and arguably Mario & Sonic Olympics (tho it's almost 1st party with that branding).

But, quite a few good sellers, 25 of the 42 million sellers on the platform are 3rd party, if you count Mario & Sonic. That's not so bad...
