Well , I don't think that it's only a problem of Wii demographic.
Every Suda 51 games was a commercial failure in Japan.
Look Famitsu numbers :
Flower, Sun, and Rain PS2: 5.9K first week and disappeared.
Michigan PS2: 15.2K first week and disappeared.
Killer 7 GCN: 4.5K first week and disappeared; didn't reach the 15.2K necessary to make the yearly Top 500.
Killer 7 PS2: 13.7 first week, 28.6K last we saw it in the 2005 yearly Top 500.
Contact DS: 6.1K first week and disappeared; didn't reach the 17.2K necessary to make the yearly Top 500. ( 25,4 K LTD for Media Create )

No More Heroes FIRST DAY sales are about 10k so you can compare it to previous Suda51 games.
I mean PS2 and DS have an huge variety in their demographic and RE4 Wii and Re UC have both good sale of over 100k units.
Every Suda 51 games were niche games. NMH seems to be more "mainstream" so I hope that it will sell good in Europe and North America.
