The Wii is bad at selling non-nintendo core games in Japan though, perhaps the situation will change with the Monster Hunter games, but...

 

I think this is a bit overblown.

1) There are no 3rd party core games with comparable budget as the big PS3/360 ones
2) There are hardly any main games of big series on Wii
3) The 2nd and 3rd best sold third party games so far in Japan are on Wii
4) Symphonia 2 sold very well, 250k, while it's a spin-off
5) Fatal Frame 4 sold more than any previous Fatal Frame

VGC has it at 216k.  Also the original Tales of Symphonia was able to sell 314k on the Gamecube, and another 390k on the PS2.
