Third parties just don't get it, Wii gamers like quality first party game, we have Nintendo, so all that stuff that PS360 fans are willing to stomach just won't fly on the Wii, you want to sell on the Wii you have to be as good or better than Nintendo, you have to bring the fun

Fixed

I suppose Zak and Wiki, NMH, Mad World... aren't 'quality'? Correct me if I'm wrong here.

I own all three of those games and, compared to Nintendo-games? No, they are not. They're all good fun (especially NMH which shines above both Zack & Wiki and MadWorld imho), but they are far from Nintendo-level.

I can buy the "Only Nintendo game sold well, because they are good" argument. it's fair, Nintendo makes great games

 

but how do you explain horrible third party PARTY games selling better than games with 10 times more quality?

Let's face the fact here... Wii gamers are either extremely casual, or extremely pro-Nintendo, or both, I don't think anyone is arguing that

Very true. Good point. I have absolutely no idea how Carnival Games managed to get such mind-boggling sales, especially since it started off really low. I have no way to explain it.
