I like Treasure games too and I know they aren't known for being big sellers, but there's no way it should have sold this little. Nintendo didn't actually started sharing media and info until 2 weeks were left till release.
Why can shooters sell better on the 360? I think it's more like a matter of no hype for the games + the userbase not finding games like the ones I named appealing. Punch-Out also bombed in Japan, and there was no reason for it to do so. Something is not being done correctly. Perhaps expecting games to sell by their own is the main problem.

Bets with Conegamer:
Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
