"But Chris Kramer, Capcom senior director of communications and community, said even though "it was one of the highest-rated Wii games and was beloved by the media, it sold abysmally -- about 120,000 units in 26 months -- for no apparent reason."

vgchartz has it at 380,000 units

 

also my mistake its 120 not 126

I would say virtually zero advertising for the game is a pretty apparent reason.

I've never once seen an ad for this game.  Who is going to buy something they don't even know exists?

I'd also make the assumption that a lot of the gamers that are new to consoles would like it, considering how well puzzle games do on computers.
