I actually didn't really like SMG. I received it as a Christmas gift, and played through it once with just enough stars to beat it and haven't looked back at it since, though it is still in my collection.

I'm glad to see at least one 3rd Party title in the top 10.

Who cares what's outselling Galaxy? We're getting a direct sequel, so we've no right to complain, period.

Nintendominance aside, Monster Hunter 3 is still the best selling third-party console game in Japan right now. And Dragon Quest X will mop the floor with it.

Good numbers for MP8. Take the hint and give us another freaking Mario Party Nintendo! Been waiting too long!

Wii Wii Wii, all the way home. (don't ask... even I don't know.)

@Tendonin

Indeed. The release of a Dragon Quest game in Japan is like a new Modern Warfare releasing here.

Yes, Nintendo software being the only worthwhile games to purchase on the system.

That's not the trend.

It's pretty much agreed the titles at the top are not the 'most worthwhile' by any stretch of the imagination (Wii Play in particular, what a piece of junk). But continue to propagate this misnomer if you would like.
