While Deadly Creatures certainly doesn't scream AAA-quality game, it should certainly serve as a breath of fresh air for the people craving a more mature game, than what people perceive the Wii games to be. Based off internet hype alone (not to mention the amount of people who talk about the drought in Wii games), this game should certainly have sold better than 10k in its first two weeks, NA and EU combined.
Of course, then there is a game like House of the Dead, which had some actual advertising, and perhaps a broader appeal as well (HotD being an old franchise, and zombie shooter possibly being more attractive than a game where you play as creatures feared by a lot of people), which sold 80k over the same two weeks.
I think you have a point, but you are still off the mark. I think a lot of developers/publishers are holding back, out of the risk they could be taking by ending up as Deadly Creatures, and I think the real test will be to see how MadWorld does in the coming weeks.
