I am not surprised. All Ninty has to do is this:
1. Release some decent to good classics on the VC
2. Release several titles that aren't great but just good enough to keep people's minds of things.
3. Release ANOTHER Mario Party (I think 9 at this point)
4. Show a picture or concept art of Link at an E3 (and fans will start crying)
5. Announce a Metroid game
6. Announce a main series Mario game
7. Release or announce another Mario Kart.
I am utterly dissapointed not only in their offerings overall but at the fans for not supporting true gems like Muramasa: The Demon Blade. Is there seriously ANY freakin reason YOU Wii fans are not supporting this amazing game? Hell I rarely borrow my friend's Wii (RE4 made me keep it for almost a month, playing and replaying it) but Muramasa is probably the ONLY game out that I would PROBABLY buy a Wii for (*GASP). No excuse for that specific game to sell so low, I mean even mediocre to bad games like Haze (ughhh embarrassed that it was in my console of choice) have sold much more. When I see titles like MadWorld and Muramasa sell tons then I'll start to believe that most of the Wii demographic isn't the casual market. And I know Nordlead who is a diehard Mario fan has also played this game and loved it.
Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)
I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/ hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.
