@Mr Khan: and there's no hype simply because the other consoles haev too much to offer, that most Wii games get overshadowed by all those other games. Companies, including Nintendo, don't hype their core games. They get released by surprise and no one knows what the game is about.
It's like if you went to the cinema and find out about a movie called The Lord of the Rings, but you never saw advertisement for it or ever heard anything about it. You would probably not see that movie and you end up watching Star Wars Episode 1, which was heavily advertised and was pretty much well known around the World. Of course if you were a LOTR fan, you would have known already that there was a movie being released because you would have followed it closely.
Smae happens with games. New gamers aren't aware of the games coming out and they will never be, considering there's so many games being released, that they are confused and will go for what looks nicer on the outside or what they have known for a while. And when we take into account that the Wii's core market is small, the results are bad sales.
