Nobody questioned that gaming pearls like Mario&Sonic or Carnival Games were selling like hotcakes.

Mario & Sonic was a pretty damn good game.
What "good" 3rd party game has launched on the Wii and bombed off the face of the planet?
RE:UC, Zak and Wiki and NMH have all done fine, especially considering that two of them were new franchises and weren't heavily advertised.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
