Oh look, Square Enix made 4 360 games and they all sold much less than 1 Wii game. Obviously Square Enix games are unsuccessful on the 360.

Now lets look at all the things I ignored in that statement:

-Square Enix is a Japanese focused publisher, and the 360 hasn't sold nearly as much as the Wii in Japan.
-3 of those games are MMOs (and expansions) which are limited by the amount of 360 owners who are online, and are more successful on PCs anyway.
-Project Sylpheed is a really really crappy game.
-Dragon Quest is the most popular RPG series in Japan after Pokemon, so of course it would be a bigger game.

Hopefully this little excersize helps you understand why you can't make blanket statements without taking other variables into account.

+ 100000 for you. Playing too much PW really helps to find faulty arguments and contradictions.

*edit* I am not sure, but I think those 360 games cost a lot more than the DQ one. The difference is that argument helps Wii in both cases. One low budget game sold a lot more than 4 medium-high budget games and low budget cash in games sell a lot less on the Wii than high budget games on other platforms
