I'm pretty sure the Wii can handle many NPCs

All those have are morons running around like idiots, in the first one people run through cars! I assume that Dead Rising will have the enemies moving in different patterns, chosing different ways to jump down on you, etc. That's a lot harder. You cannot really compare it this way, because they're very different games.

Edit: Looks like I was beaten to it.

Actually, Dead Rising deliberately makes most of the enemies be completely mindless. That's exactly what makes the game fun. The zombies in particular just stand there until something you (or someone else) does "triggers" them, at which point they slowly shuffle straight towards you, with no real strategy or variety. They're imminently predictable.

That's the beauty of the game: the zombies are borderline harmless, even comical, 95% of the time because they're completely stupid. Heck, the entire camera concept was there precisely so you could stand still and nonchalantly snap pictures.

Mind you, if you play around so much that you let yourself get surrounded, things start to get a little more interesting...

Oh, I didn't know that was how it was. Nevermind my post then.
