I often see this kind of reasoning, but it simply isn't sound. Just because product A sells more than product B doesn't mean that the customer satisfaction for A is superior to the one for B. It only means that more people were pushed over the threshold of buying the product, but that happens for a combination of value assessment, word of mouth, marketing, public image and so on.
I don't know if "the public considered (wii games) BETTER than any Gamecube game" because that would mean taking a survey among people who tried both. But I frankly doubt that the majority of Wii Sports/Play/Fit/Resort/Plus were informed on the quality or even existence of most Gamecube games.
It may very well be that most persons trying both would rate Wii Fit higher than Metroid Prime or Pikmin, but it isn't proved by the sales. What the sales prove is the bigger appeal.
