im thinking that they have to get about 5-6 million by the first year

 

Umm...yeah, no.

Conduit needs to get to 1 mil+ fast. Mad World IDK...originally Clover hasn't made any best selling games.

 

 

y make a expensive game that sells only a million when u can make a bunch of crap mini games 4 cheap and get 5-6million sells

Why spend $100 Million to make Grand Theft Auto 4 when you can make 100+ bewjewled clones?

The answer to your question is that the market for mini games on the Wii is pretty close to being fully saturated, and further investment towards those games is unlikely to provide a healthy return.

 

The 360 has been saturated with FPS games since the system was released and yet there are still a pile of them coming this year and next.  The same can be said for the Wii, publishers will make what sells on the system and regardless of the claims of some people, casual games are selling a lot on the system (take a look at this week's UK charts for example).
