They should have done whatever it took to get RB2 Wii released earlier. I really don't understand why they were unable to. Whatever your feelings are about the Wii, it's hard to deny that RB2 Wii would have sold well during the holiday period.

Yeah, RB1 is selling like gangbusters.

 

It is... when you consider the 360/PS3 versions were released right before X-mas... and the Wii version was released in June... and much later.  (Weren't you one of the people argueing that the reason timed exclusives sell worse on the PS3 was the timed part?)

Note the huge X-mas boost the Wii version is getting despite it being 5 months old.

Now lets compare a similar game when released at the same time...
