According to Iwata, 30 third-party Wii titles had shipped more than a million units worldwide by the end of last year. That's 18 more than just nine months earlier; suggesting that third-party developer performance on Nintendo's market-leading home console was accelerating.
For the DS, Iwata trotted out a similar drastic increase from 28 third-party million sellers at the end of last March to 49 by the end of last year. That's 21 new million-selling DS titles in just nine months.
Iwata noted that, for the past two months, the Wii had sold more third-party software than any other console in the US. He added, "As the hardware [expands] their installed bases, we are starting to see a cycle where more titles from the third parties are making the million sellers list."
Nintendo themselves recorded sales for 15 first-party DS titles and 11 first-party Wii titles in the last three quarters, but this information does not list million-selling titles that did not feature sales data for that reporting period.
Lets reset this data a little bit. How many of those have sold past 5 million?
I'm looking through the release list... They list "Dynamic Zan" for 2009 in Japan, no other regions though (I hope that just means it's undecided). Also New Play Control Pikmin 2, Another Code R and Endless Ocean 2 are listed for Europe but not the US? That's weird... Can't say I remember what "Kensakusu","Line Attack Heroes", "Takt of Magic" or "Spurn Smasher" were...

Why are you moving the goal posts? T_T
I don't know if there's any hard data to peg games over 5 million. Besides, only the most expensive of expensive titles would need to sell 5 million units, and only the most blockbuster titles should be expected to.
However, Nintendo has provided data for some recent first-party Wii million sellers... seven of which are over 5 million worldwide.

So do we have a list of the titles or what?

A news story is coming. Until then, you can click the link in the story to see the list straight from Nintendo.
That's my point. It's great to see MORE titles selling more than a million. But in comparison to stuff like Wii Fit and Mario Kart which is just selling lots all the time continuously it shows the massive gap between them.

Um, are you talking about the 2009 release list Nintendo released a few days ago?
I gave the link to Kairon, but I believe this isn't about that. Unless I am missing something.
