"Correlation is not causation"
Games that appeal to the "casual" crowd have legs because of the buying pattern of the "casual" audience, not because of the Wii magic legs. These buyers don't know when a game came out, they buy according to name and genre. Same happens for casual games on other consoles, proportionally to the "casual" audience share.
Shooters have their own audience, and there are not many for the Wii. New Wii users (say the 16 yo boy of a family that bought the console for Wii Fit) may want a FPS. They obviously orbitate towards CoD:WaW. Resistence:FoM had legs for the same reason, when the PS3 library was thinner. Again, not Wii specific.
Da Blob was a quirky, family safe game, that sold based on word of mouth. I expect it to have legs... I can't compare with equivalent games on 360 and PS3 because they are downloadable.
I'm sorry but I don't see a "Wii" factor in those legs... I see a console that has many games appealing to the "widened" audience, that has its FPS loving users constantly starved, and with a few independent quirky family-friendly games.
Madworld is not covered by any of these.
