I cannot wait to see my favourite multiplayer game ever, Super Smash Bros Brawl, getting over 10 milion. And yeah, I think you just proved how you aren't supposed to create casual stuff for the Wii: the only thing you have to do is promote a game in the right way. Period.

How those games any more hardcore than for example madden which you listed as casual game on another thread?

Wii has a much larger install base than the other two: PS3 and X360 resulting in the top 10 Wii games sell more than its competition. No surprises here at all. In terms of sales attach rates of Top 10 selling games to consoles. PS3 is in front(35/22) 360 is second (55.6/30)and the Wii is third(55.8/50)

you're surprised that 1 in 5.7 people bought SSBB? Shoot GTA4 has a sellthrough of about 1 in 4.8

gta4 - 12.59
COD4- 11.57
CODWAW - 8.64
assassins creed - 7.85
elder scrolls - 3.59
fallout 3 - 3.72
marvel:ultimate alliance - 2.72
RE5 - 2.76

I would continue but I think my point is proven.

53.4 on only 8 games

On top of that: the360 top 10 is 56, even.

Mario Party?

/thread fails

Their is a difference between "hardcorze" and "core nintendo game".

One exists the other doesn't.

I went out of my way not to use the (laughable) "hardcore" word.

Remember everyone, this isn't Nintendo's top 10 games. It's the top 10 core Nintendo games/franchises and they dwarf the competition.

Wii sells more core games than PS3/360.

Please update the OP and list the PS3 Top 10 sellers and the XBox 360 Top 10 sellers. I want to see all of the games in the OP. The thread title should read: "Wii Top 10 selling games are outselling PS360 games"

 Amuse me, how are those games you listed less "casual" than madden/lego sw or any game you listed as casual games on HD-platforms?

Here is a handy list of hardcore games for future use:

Starcraft

Stalker

Marvel Vs Capcom 2

Fallout 1 and 2

Various PC games I don't feel like listing

GTA, Mario Kart, halo, killzone, mario, smash bros, etc. are not hardcore and never will be

oops, mario party, mario strikers and animal crossing are total piles of garbage.
