I don't like wii very much, I think that eyetoy has the same objectives that wii has suck as put the kids moving! I think eyetoy is more cool than wii because its cheaper and the only thing you need id legs, arms, hands, head and the most important thing a camera.

Wii Sports Resort and the Wii MotionPlus puts this to shame. Too bad the Wii couldn't have this functionality when it was released as we would have some great games now. However, according to Myiamoto it wasn't possible due to size and price when the Wii was being developed.

Bundled games should not count. Only the Japanese versions of Wii sports should count since they were non-bundles.

That is MINDBLOWING. Here's the top selling games in history:

SNES - Super Mario World - 20m
360 - Halo 3 - 8.1 million
PS2 - GTA:SA - 12m
PS3 - GT5 - 3.3m

Wii - Wii Sports - 47m, Wii Play - 23m, Wii Fit 22m

For some perspective, Tetris - 35 million
