No, I'm saying that longtime fans of videogames will buy sequels in series they enjoy; however, we don't really know the buying habits of these people that don't read videogame websites every day that Nintendo tried to attract with their blue ocean strategy. And, we don't know if they would be informed enough about games to know if they would be interested in buying new games in those series. We don't have any US sales data for how Wii Sports Resort will do yet, but judging by the Japanese data, it had a pretty good first week but certainly not what you would consider to be outstanding numbers for the sequel to the best-selling* game of all time.
