I'm all for supporting quality 3rd party offerings on Wii, since they are rare, but there are a few cases in which I recognize the games are quality, but I still don't care about them, and I don't really care about either of these games. I do wish they sold a little better though to encourage more devs to make better efforts, although I can in part see why they didn't.
FF:CC is a crappy game and a radical departure from the tradtional FF games if the reviews are correct, plus didn't it release like the day after christmas? Those factors would be more than enough to do this one in.
Silent Hill I was initially confused as to why it flopped, but then I heard the HD Silent Hill did almost as poorly, with like 150k combined on both platforms.. So with that in mind it shouldn't be a surprise this one didn't sell. Add this to the fact that the game had very little advertising.
Like I said before, 99% of the time there is a logical explanation as to why a 3rd party Wii title didn't sell aside from "Teh stupid cazuals!" and "Wii gamers only want Nintendo games!!1"
