PIKMIN 1 & 2 were released on a far lower selling console so hopefully a new pikmin game for the wii will see a slight improvement (even if the npc versions haven't set the world on fire...) or even a great improvement. They should probably not call it '3' though in order to attract new potential buyers to the series (hopefully)...
I think Nintendo themselves are aware of the fact that it's more of a critically acclaimed series than a bestselling one, so they'll probably continue to make PIKMIN games as long as they feel there is a creative need to keep working on 'em...
Then again, even if P3 ends up being a stellar hit, nintendo may never make one again as they are strange...
