1 day old now, so pretty new. Sales data doesn't release on August 1st, it needs to be compiled from its various sources, sorted, and composited together.

You forget that the Wii was advertised to even grandparents. They aimed way beyond the gamer demography, at the cost of developing "too easy" or too hand-holding games for the system
