I can't believe people still believe third parties don't sell games on the Wii. Come on, we're on a sales site here! The Wii is much cheaper to develop for, and even then it has more million sellers and 500k+ sellers than the PS3.
Why mention Boom Blox as a good title that didn't sell? It's already over half a million and still selling over 10k a week. I'm pretty sure it wil break 800k, and has a good shot at a million.
De Blob opened with terrible numbers, but it's way too early to say anything meaningful about it. I also find De Blob a doubtful choice for "the game to see how third parties perform". Why not look at more mainstream games, like, I don't know, Red Steel, Star Wars Force Unleashed, and Sonic and the Secret Rings?
