@Gamerace: Apparently the game didn't deliver and judging by the name, it seems more like fan service.
If we look at it from the viewpoint of upstreaming the customers, Sega Superstar Tennis is on the wrong step of the ladder. If we have accessible tennis game, it's in the same line with the minigame collections - right after Wii Sports. It also promotes franchises, from which some are dead and some are core titles, which you need the bridge to.
Since Sega Superstar Tennis wasn't a huge success to begin with (atleast not on Wii, despite its strong sales), the games effect is very small. When the game starts closing in 5M, that's the game you need to use as a stepboard to go further. For example, if Wii Sports hadn't been so successful, it would have caused Nintendo to rethink their strategy. Maybe Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit and Wii Music had been branded to something else or the games would have had a change in their design. And if Sega Superstar tennis would've been a huge success, Sega should've pushed "Sega" branded games. If they want the core titles to succeed, they need to introduce new characters on a game that either is a core title or a bridge title.
