"The Wii doesn't sell quality games" - Any examples to back this up?

Okami did not sell for the Wii like it didn't sell on the PS2. The fact that it made a handful of dollars because it was a pretty direct port so it had low development costs does not change the fact that it did not sell.
What about Tenchu or the two Tomb Raider games? Those were pretty decent I seem to remember, and known franchises. And hardly niche games.

You ignored the question I asked about Zelda. But ok, Tenchu, I don't know how well it will sell. It's a recent release with 70,000 units so far, and the best selling Tenchu game of all according to vgchartz only sold 320,000 copies. Maybe it will have legs, maybe it won't.

And which Tomb Raider are you talking about, this? http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/laracrofttombraideranniversary

Interesting benchmarks you use for expecting high sales, really.

 

Tomb Raider is a big name, washed out as it might have gotten, that was the point. And metacritic=73 is now a game that does not deserve sales? I think it means a decent to good game, if not for everybody.

It's more than Deadly Creatures and Endless Ocean that most people on this forum found good games, only two less than Umbrella Chronicles.

Yes, misread it sorry. The PS2 version might have killed it indeed, as the target for TR:Anniversary on the Wii is probably mostly made of (ex) PS2 owners.
