de Blob is one of the defacto games for the wii. It is an amazing game, and it fits the casual style of gaming, it is rated well for a very good reason.
If an awesome game can only sell 700k units in four months on an install base of 45 million then yes i would consider that a failure.
Of course it will make money, but then again carnival games probably has an eigth of the cost and nearly double the sales.

I don't think Deadly Creature will even sell close to what de Blob sold.

 

You don't keep up with the Wii very much, do you? In general, games on the Wii have extremely good legs, and continue to sell over time. You shouldn't compare sales patterns on the Wii to other systems, as it's proven time and again that it's different.

At the rate the wii sells, the game is actually selling less and less per week. Do some math, and remember that christmas distorts sales.

 EDIT: sorry to correct you again, but it is the 1st party games that have great legs on the wii.

nonetheless, they will still make money on the investment. But there is no point in doing so when higher profit exists in another form.
