Well there are 50m Wiis out there, so 200k (or whatever its at) is pretty awful.

Thats about 1% of all Wii owners that bought that game.

That is a pretty lame argument there.  First, you need to double check your math (it is actually less than 0.5%). 

Before you claim this only strengthens your case, I must point out that your argument could be used to make almost any game look horrible.  Take almost any games first or second week sales and then compare it to the install base will almost always result in 'horrible sales'.  Look at Infamous, it must be selling horrible because only 1% (200,000/20,000,000) of PS3 owners bought that game!  UFC for x-box 360 failed too, only 1% of the install base bought that game!.  By your logic I could claim that Halo, Twilight Princess or just about any other succesful game was actually a failure.

 

Well Halo 3 sold nearly 10m and there are 30m 360s. 1 out of ever 3 360 owners have halo 3. Thats a pretty good ratio if you ask me.
