The fact is, no matter how good the game is, how perfect the controls are on the WII, people go for over-hyped franchises and / or easy going games. Mario Party 8 got low scores all over the West and even in the West it's the best selling Mario Party game ever. Mario Party 8 didn't even get scores from Famitsu, it sells only because it got the names "Mario" and "Party". Two magic words.

If Konami is intentionally foiling then I can say that about Square Enix and Marvelous as well and most of all Square Enix. The only 2 who most likely are taking the most effort are EA and Capcom then and slightly a Ubisoft. But just check Amazon Japan if you understand any word of Japanese, a lot of the people who bought DQS did that because they're a Dragon Quest fan and all end up highly dissappointed. The ones who're happy about the game are the real casual gamers, who only have about an hour a day to spend on games. Elebits had at least some potention and I really love the game not to imagine Excite Truck which I simply adore! I've got the feeling a Zack & Wicky won't sell that much either. Seriously, if that game bombs hard in Japan, I really will consider to sell my WII! Oh but then again, no Mario Galaxy.... forget what I've just said...

Elebits and Excite Truck were launch games, but Excite Truck is still one of the best 3rd party games so far IMO.

Um, isn't excite truck made by nintendo.
