Over the April to September 2009 period, retailers bought 76.21m Wii games and 71.15m DS games. The six Wii titles above from Nintendo total 22.63m units of software. Since Punch Out, the New Play Control titles and other Nintendo releases didn't top 1m units for the half year, its pretty likely that third party developers had well over half the Wii software market. Monster Hunter 3 and EA Active alone for instance would be 3m units for third party developers in the period.

For the DS, the six titles total 10.58m units of software. This is only about 15% of all DS software shipped over the last six months. Nintendo has a much larger back log of titles on DS which are still selling decently. Still, with Dragon Quest IX shipments of ~4m in the quarter and other third party titles performing well on the DS, its pretty likely Nintendo had no more than a quarter or a third of the DS software market over the last six months.

Overall, the twelve titles shipped 33.2m units in the April to September period. With total Wii and DS software at 147.36m, the twelve titles come to about 2/9 of all Wii and DS software shipped for the period.
