Look fellas, I understand the "wait and see" approach in some occassions, but the game has sold 20k total in 2 weeks in Others. It's not even in the top 40 anymore in the UK after only 2 weeks. It's already selling half as much this week as it sold last week, and while Wii games do tend to have longer legs, games like this do not.
It's almost inarguably a bomb. A dud. It also bodes very poorly for more games of its nature on the Wii, as it was clearly considered a trial by other publishers.
That's the way the cookie crumbles. No one likes admitting that their system of choice has flaws, but this is a fumble for the Wii.
Just be happy that the Wii has caught so many passes this generation. Can't win em all.

Bolded. Yup exactly where I was going with the Haze argument. The only thing that got me is that 360 and PS3 gamers are forced by some Ninty fans that there is no doubt one of their games failed. On the other hand Ninty fans will say otherwise about their games.
I am a Ninty fan but I by no means think they are invincible.
My bias is usually always based on the underdog. Last generation I was rooting for GameCube to come back. This generation it will be the PS3. Granted they will not finish first, it has never been a better time to be second than this generation. Since all systems this generation are doing quite well with each other than past generations.

Can we at least wait for NPD data before declaring the game a bomb?
Because its happened so many times on all systems that certain game has bombed because we simply didn't have the data then jumped to conclusions and acted like asses?

I agree that we should wait. Though it won't be much better hopefully it is undertracked like SFVI.
Yes we do make asses of ourselves. I just want to show that Nintendo isn't the exception that's all. Though I wish it was more of a Haze quality game that sold like this. I want this game to have legs and sell for many months to level off a shady launch.
This game should have done 100k first week with some legs. It is not Sega nor Nintendo's fault. It is the fault of the gamers passing a gem to buy polished turds. This game deserves more, even if it has decent LTD numbers.
I blame Need for Speed and Madden! XD
And Wii Fit! :P
