Don't want to get you riled up, but your comparing No More Heroes to Call of Duty... that's kinda lame. Resident Evil is also the most popular franchise in it's respective genre, of course it would sell well, especially since it was successful on the Gamecube. For No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise (PS3) to even outsell the Wii version in it's first week in Japan, that's quite an achievement. The 360 version even has a much smaller install base and it might be pretty close.

OK, how about the fact that 360 version sold nearly as much as the PS3 version with 1/5 the userbase? Clearly it's the "demographics"

The 360 version is superior to the PS3 version, it's uncensored in Japan, while the Wii and PS3 version are heavily censored. That was probably enough to get people to choose one of the other.
