Wii Starwars... less WW sales than either HD console? Why?

Top Spin 3 sold the same on every platform.
Madden sold the same on Wii and PS3 despite the huge discrepance on their opening weeks.
Pro Evolution Soccer sells much less because it's released half a year later.
Wii Sports outsold every other HD sports game ever released /thread.

 

where?

 

Lol I agree with psrock.  Where on earth did you dig up that falsehood?  "Sold the same" is pretty subjective.  Madden 07 and 08 were close to the PS3 on the Wii... and of course the Wii's installed base was much larger in both cases.  The Wii is close to the PS3 with Starwars too...  thank god for installed base?  

3rd party devs are going to look at the "almost equal" raw sales and say "oh look, the Wii sells almost as much as the least popular platform of this generation, retails for less per unit, and only costs 2x as much to port to, over that least popular platform from our primary of the X360... lets move our primary dev platform there, so we can double our dev costs and make the HD versions crappy ports."

I think you're missing the point of my questions.
