    What? There’s 45.7million Wii’s floating out there for Wii sports to be played on? >_>
    That can’t be right.. And if its not right.. why would you need more than 1 copy per Wii?

      I think there over 50Mil. Wiis sold so far.
      Not more than one per machine, but you never know with some households.

      I cannot believe that number for Personal Trainer: Cooking. Or the fact that LOZ – TP not even mentioned.

    The real frightening part is only one 3rd party game. and I read half of 3rd party wii software is guitar hero and rock band.
    i’d guess shovelware accounts for 30-40%, leaving 10-20% for proper efforts. no wonder wii is getting shafted
