How do you know they wouldn't? A game like RE4 that's been ported to everything from the PS2 to the iphone has sold more on Wii than on the original platform it was intended for (GC) GTA:CW? Look what that did on PSP and compare that to the DS version. MH3 in Japan only is nearing Million units sold that is a big name game and doing big name numbers. Userbase argument doesn't mean much at all because then you could start calling million selling games flops "compared to userbase"

All three games have provided profit and how many flops receive sequels? These are niche games (save for Conduit which is a mediocre game) Why should mediocrity sell like Halo? How did Wet sell?

I can easily flip the argument to only big name games sell on HD systems. Look at Blazblu sales. Big name games would and do sell fantastically on Wii, it just seldomly gets them.

Agreed.

It's pretty sure that a game like RE5 would sell on the Wii. There's many people who love Resident Evil on the Wii (more than a million bought Umbrella Chronicles)

Now that's the point. Poor Wii only get spinoffs. 

To sell on the Wii, two steps: 1) publicity, marketing      2) quality

Wii showed in the past that rather a quality game which has no marketing won't sell, and conversely like Conduit proved.

And Chinatown Wars didn't get publicity as GTA IV did. It sold well for a title that had no appealing publicity.

Here's the thing though. There's a double standard; A game that flops on Wii its Wii's fault, a game that flops on the HD systems its the games fault.

See the platform is never to blame. Chinatown Wars is a top down GTA the last top down GTA was GTA2 which was before GTA blew up. And the PSp sales show that its appeal isn't far reaching and in no way is comparable to their 3-d counterparts.

Exactly, Wii receives Spin-offs. Look at Bioshock, successful on 360 ported to PS3 and its sales aren't much to talk about. If Either HD console was treated like Wii the games would have a hard time selling as well. I'm sick of third parties putting shit on Wii's plate and calling it filet minion steak.

Dead Space underperformed on HD platforms so a Spin-off Rail shooter is supposed to sell millions of copies? The backlash on forums regarding EA's decision was humungus.
