And I agree with Oyvoyvoyv by the way.
There are a lot of games with "Wii" in the title.... compared to the small number of sucesses, there are more of them that fail, or at least don't have any clear sales advantage over games without.
Wii Sports is given away with the console in the West.... if it hadn't been an amazing game, you wouldn't even be asking this question.
Wii Play sells well because it is better than the 3rd party attempts at copying it, yet is 1/4 the price if you were going to buy a 2nd Wii remote anyway (seriously why wouldn't you want at least 1 extra remote)
Wii Fit is a clearly brilliant game, with brilliant marketing, part of that marketing does include putting the name Wii in the title, but calling it something else would not have hindered it's sales significantly.
Mario Kart Wii is selling because it is fucking amazing.
RE4? Well first of all it was a great game on the Cube and then PS2... it already has it's brand name recognition of "Resident Evil" what else would they have called it to make sure people know it is different to the older versions? And no the word "Wii" is not helping it.
Wii Music, as Oyv has said, is probably the only real example of this happening... the word "Wii" is helping it sell.... bad word of mouth from games journalist who went at it the wrong way is hindering it too though.... personally I think Wii Music is a mistake on the parts of both Nintendo and gaming journalism. In reality it is a niche product for those interested in the groundwork of making music, but it was advertised by Nintendo in the same vein as Wii Sports etc, ie a fun little family game... something it very much isn't. Meanwhile gaming journalism failed for the umpteenth time to understand what the Wii is about because they are trying to compare it's games to other games (in WMusics case, guitar hero)
Now try name another game that you think has sold better because of "Wii"
