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.

I didn't find it to be a very good game, honestly. It was simply stunning to look at, but the actual gameplay left much to be desired. If you omit the graphics, there's nothing that stands out about the game. Do you really think it would have done much better on the PS3 or 360?

 

It's been a long time since Sega understood much of anything about the market in general. Despite what the naysayers will have you believe about the Wii supposedly giving birth to and exclusively housing the phenomenon of underperforming games, the fact of the matter is that the only reason Sega went to the Wii trying to sell teh maturz is because said games on the HD consoles were constantly bombing. They got tired of bleeding money and went looking for greener pastures.

You are correct. Sega isn't the company they once were. And you do bring up a very good point, Sega only retreated to the Wii because HD development was getting too costly. Still, I wanted to believe...
