As expected, the Wii is crushing the PS3 and 360, but the software numbers are insane. You can take the top selling title for the PS3 or the 360 and they wouldn’t even fall in the Wii’s top 10. It should be a little worrisome however that 3rd parties have basically no representation in the Wii charts. We keep hearing that certain 3rd party titles are selling well (especially Capcom’s offerings), but they can’t seem to measure up to Nintendo’s own offerings in Japan.
