Wii has Xbox 360 and PS3 beat. If you want to argue third-party sales, you are correct, which just goes to show how well Nintendo sells its own games. However, a significant portion of the third-party software lead that the PS3 and Xbox 360 have goes away if you ignore Call of Duty, which also just points out how massive Call of Duty is.
This data actually surprises me further, because ask anyone who even knows what a third-party is and they would say Microsoft and Sony have much better third-party support. However, sales-wise the difference isn't nearly as significant; considering cheaper cost of development it would also seem irrelevant. It seems to me that third-parties simply didn't/don't want to develop games for the Wii.
Now with the Wii U doing poorly, I don't see the trend shifting to more third-party support for Nintendo. This can only hurt them.
