In Noth America in their first week these games sold the following and ended up Million Sellers (or soon will be):
Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles 76,535 Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition 70,880 Sonic and the Secret Rings 50,713 Shawn White Snowboarding: Road Trip 45,840 Call of Duty World at War 44,468 Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga 40,831 House of the Dead 2&3 the Return 13,910
Now, I'm not claiming that MadWorld will be a million selling game ... but even core Wii games sell over time and it is foolish to look at a single Wii games sales in one week and in one market and claim that it is not selling.

Agreed, I even found more examples (previously posted at US weekly sales for March 14)
Of all 3rd Party Wii Platinum Sellers ONLY 27% sold more than 57K first week and they all had established names or franchises:

GOT IT - I don't want to have to teach this class again.

You teach a class on generalization? Cool. Show us how many games under 57K in the first week didn't go platinum now. In particular, cull all but the M rated ganes.
