I am interested to see how it does on PS2. Also notable is that this is the first Wii to PS2 port I can think of. Correct me if there is another one.
The "Kiss Your Old Hard Nintendo games thread" I made awhile ago was because I was pissed off at Nintendo, and it definitely came from a more fanboyish intent than this thread did.
I did not say anything that isn't supported by actual data in the charts in my original post, and it includes counterexamples such as Red Steel, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, and Rayman: Raving Rabbids.
I don't like the Wii, but I don't hate it. I purposefully tried to make the original post as fact-oriented as possible as to avoid bias. As I said before, I would still like to see how established franchises do, like Soul Calibur: Legends and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (better gauge than RE4 cause it is a Wii exclusive, IMO).
Both Boogie and Dewy's Adventure had UNUSUALLY bad opening weeks (and following weeks for Dewy's), which is why I made this thread. I actually thought of another example too while I was typing this,the Harvest Moon game released awhile ago on the Wii in Japan. That franchise may have not been a blockbuster in the past, but it usually posts respectable numbers. This time it did not on the Wii.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
