pretty bad numbers for a FPS game with no competition on the wii

So you bought the game, right? No? If not please do tell why, since you probably like FPS games and this game has no competition.

By the way you should note that contrary to what many FPS fans come to expect as standard, this game has no multiplayer of any kind, so if your argument is that it should sell more do to its being a FPS "with no competition", then you are wrong, in the eyes of some FPS fans it is probably actually inferior due to no multiplayer.

And more OT: the game sold first week more than I expected. To put things in perspective, Modern Warfare Reflex sold 38,009 first week in the Americas (and is about to cross the million line WW, 700k of which are Americas, though I don't expect RS2 to do that due to different circumstances and release date), WaW Wii sold 44,468 first week in the Americas (and is now at 1.45 million WW, 960k of which are in Americas), Conduit first week was better than those at 64,469 but the backlash due to mediocre reviews and word of mouth as well as some bugs and hackers online has brought it to only 390k WW so far. Reactions and reviews of Red Steel 2 are overall much better than The Conduit's, so it needs to be seen which pattern this game wil follow, the COD games or The Conduit.

I think the second week of this game's sales may tell us more about where it's going.
