Could be on that ballpark, but it's IGN. They probably lied and actually got their numbers from VGChartz, lol.

bla you don't want to get me started on ether ign or vgchartz they are both full of shit and no one in their sane mind or even simi sane mind should trust ether one.

but the wii selling anywhere around 70 million is a impressive feat for any console in any gen

The number is accurate and is by NCL. On Oct 28 they announced:

Nintendo Wii Hardware & Software Sales for this Quarter

-Wii hardware passes 75 million

-Total software sales for Wii pass 610 million

-Super Mario Galaxy 2 sold 5.1 million so far

-Wii Sports Resort sold 4.8 million in this quarter alone, sold 20.94 million total lifetime so far

-Wii Fit Plus sold 2.57 million this quarter, passes 15.2 million worldwide total

-Wii Party has so far sold 2.5 million

-New Super Mario Bros. sold 2.03 million this quarter, 16.73 million total lifetime

-Mario Kart Wii sold 1.46 million this quarter, hits 24.01 million total sales to date

-Wii sold 1.93 million this quarter, the first sub 2 million quarter for the console ever

-Wii Party a million-seller in Japan alone

These statistics also put the software attach rate to an average of 8:1. Hardly "noone buys games".

All that was before the Black Firday/November (and October?) sales so 76 sounds about right.

I COMPLETELY forgot about Virtua Fighter 5!

I walked into some super-duper wholesale market** with my sister yesterday and there it was staring at me for $17.99!

This was a no-brainer!


Yeah, that game holds up better than you think. Playing it for the first time in years...made me want to get a copy again.
