Why make games people want when your console is selling millions a month? Nintendo already got the console sales and they're making money on third party sales. No need to develop more games than they have to.

How well did other tennis n golf games do on the Wii? how did other tennis and golf games do on Gamecube? not sure i see your point. Soccer games dont fly off the shelves for the Wii but they made a soccer game didnt they? The Gamecube wasn't bundled with Wii Sports, so I don't see your point.   They made Mario Strikers Charged, though I don't know how much it or other soccer games sold on the Wii. Also, MSC was in development before the Wii came out, and considering Wii Sports, they probably figured if they were gonna make a sports game they should make it one not in Wii Sports.

So we are comparing one segment of a sports minigame compilation that was really just a glorified demo disc to a full blown game modes and campaigns? Yeah that makes sense. 

Guess people are easily satisfied, far enough. Point taken on Mario Strikers, still doesnt make sense why the other sports games didnt get the same treatment, considering they all sold about the same on GC. ANd no it being in some WiiSports nonsense is not a substitue, especially when those portions arent that great to begin with.

How was it too saturated? Where there Golf and Tennis games coming out the wazoo for Wii? Even then, who cares, the Ninty version would have done better as always. And we dont make games that wont get close to 10 mil? should have never made Metroid, S&P2, Wario, etc.

Those 2 yearly outings of Tiger woods sold most copies on the wii, doubling most other systems and the 09 version on the wii seems to be miles ahead also but it had a slight different name than on the 360/ps3 but yeah those games had little real competition on wii so they did sell incredibly well, especially when you consider the obvious less amount of effort needing to go into porting it to a non hd system.

Wii sport killed it???

Nintendo doesn't just slap the Mario name on.....*burts into laughter* I'm sorry. Couldn't keep a straight face. I guess they didn't do it because people expected them to. Nintendo is always unoredictable.

The simple answer is that these sports were already done in Wii Sports. (And again in Wii Sports Resort. For Golf, anyway.)

I see people arguing the fact that simple "mini-games" in Wii Sports or Tiger Woods Golf wouldn't affect Mario Golf/Tennis, but it would. The "casual" audience that Nintendo targeted with Wii Sports (and that EA targeted with Tiger Woods) wouldn't see why they would need another Golf/Tennis game, just because Mario was in it.

so thats 2 years out of six? im sorry but that still tells me that the hd versions sold more in general.

ill apologize for sounding crass in advance, but if people cant tell the difference all of a sudden between a simulator sporlts game, a minigame comp and an arcade sports game, well then they are a little slow. But then again we are talking about a system where games that dont even control properly sell so what the hell

09 was also far more on the wii like I said but the wii version is called tiger woods 09 all stars and the hd versions aren't called that so a link is harder.

2011 sold more on the ps3 but the wii beat out the Xbox360 version.

2007 all consoles were within 10k of each other.

You might think that these games sold very little on the Wii, but just type "tiger woods" into the search bar at the top and you can see EA cleaned up with the Wii versions of the game.
