People should learn by now that weak first sales for a Wii game != flop.
Wii Music is closing in on 500k in 5 weeks, for example, and is showing extremely strong legs. I suspect that it'll be like Nintendogs, in that it'll keep selling 50-100k a week for years to come.
And, yeah, CoD:WaW Wii bombed. But that's what happens when you gimp a game in comparison to its PS360 cousins.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
