| Gojimaster said: DIY only sold 10k during opening week in NA. Japanese sales haven't been stellar either, with a rapid decline in sales after a couple weeks. Looks like the biggest Nintendo bomb so far of this year. The last WarioWare game sold over 2 million on DS. Does this game mean that people are less interested in creating games than playing them? Or will this game manage to capture an American audience in the coming weeks?

There is a boardgame called Stonehenge that was sold on the promise you could make your own games for it. The boardgame didn't do well, and didn't have any games in it, packaged, that were considered "must have". I don't believe people buy anything because they can make a game for it. They buy it to be entertained. Once something is entertaining enough, and can be modded, a community will gather around it and take it and run. But you can sell anything as "Do it Yourself" and expect it to sell a lot.
