Opoona must be the most non-conventional game ever. Weird graphics, nunchuck only. Without a lot of advertising this was totally expected. Launching the same day as Galaxy might not have helped either.
Zack&Wiki didn't bomb, as Capcom was moderately happy with sales. The problem is we tend to focus a lot on Japan while only about 1/10 of the worldwide weekly console sales are from Japan (Wii 1/10th, 360 1/50, PS3 1/7). If we had good European data we could make way better assessments on whether a game bombed or not. Z&W will sell most in Europe (adventure loving country).
Opoona won't sell anywhere, not even on PS2.
