"If you're still under the impression that consumers are only buying Nintendo's new console for Wii Sports, perhaps the latest software to hardware tie ratio numbers from the NPD Group will change your mind. According to the software data tracking service, consumers purchased 8.11 games for every Wii console sold in December. This relates to 7.76 games for every Xbox 360 sold during the month and 5.04 games for every PlayStation 3 purchased in the same time frame."

I see what you are saying pretty clearly now. This is probably the case in some households, but obviously, not all households. Though a higher number of users per household has never hurt a console.
Also, SMG is a bit of both, but majority of the hardcore Nintendo gamers on the Wii will purchase the title.
