1.1 -

franchises sell my friend.

New titles aren't known by the casual gamers unless they happen to see it on Tv Via a commercial.

I still don't believe Mario Party 8 sold as much as it did. Compared to the last game on the GC it seems more like a downgrade than a sequel.

Kind of sad that a game like Wii Play sells more than Super Mario Galaxy. But that's just my opinion...

2.1 - Two things.

While I hear you, Super Mario Galaxy has only been out for three months, and people tend to buy Wii Play more because it has a controller included with it than anything else.

The reason that the number of units Wii Sports has sold is less than the number of Wiis sold (which is reported to be over 20 million) worldwide is because Wii Sports is not bundled w/ the Wii in Japan.

4 - As much as i respect nintendo for what they have achieved

Only two games on this list would get any kind of a glance from me, mario galaxy and metroid prime, the list just seems so 90's, no new ip's. This list screams imitation not innovation

*cough*MGS, FF... Need I continue? Game makers of today tend to stick with tried & tested IP's for a reason. They tend to sell well, which brings in moola, which equals a good thing.

Why are people disagreeing with the above post? It *IS* a list of only Nintendo titles. Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, Guitar Hero III, Resident Evil 4, Rayman Raving Rabbids, and Red Steel have all sold over a million copies as well.

For those keeping score at home, that's five 3rd party million+ sellers for the Wii, vs. four for the PS3.

Actually the PS3 has 7 million sellers and 4 of them sold 2 million+:

Motorstorm 2million+
Resistance 2million+
COD4 2million+
Assassin's 2million+
Uncharted
PES 08
FIFA

And NFS:PS is hovering under a million at .93m, etc

Apparently you're unclear on the concept of third party games. Motorstorm, Resistance, and Uncharted are all Sony titles. If we counted first and second party titles Nintendo would beat Sony by even more (16 to 7).

Why waste time with the Wii at all? All the money is being made on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

wii games are priced like last gen games. Companys get $10 bucks less per copy then a 360/ps3 title. Good price for consumers though :D

You forgot to put in terms of actually developing the Wii games.

Let alone the PS2-Wii ports.

"It will be hard for 3rd party to make a lot of money on the Wii."

Are you aware that 3rd party games on the Wii have outsold 3rd party games on the PS3 by about 31M to 23M copies? Yet nobody worries about 3rd party developers making money on the PS3. So strange.

What? That can't be true, you say! But it is... go add the numbers up for yourself.
