Why these core games didn't sell on the Wii:

They weren't advertised well. And they were only released to limited markets with low initial stock, only to be restocked when the original games sold out.

That's why those games didn't sell.  They were never expected to sell well in the first place by their parent companies.

They didn't sell because they  were either shitty, boring, lack of promotion, they are part of series that doesn't sell well (silent hill), and etc.  nuff said

Put up your excuses all you want.  But only one reason you gave was valid.  Case in point, many games people consider 'shitty' or 'boring' on either the Wii or HD Consoles sold in the millions.  And just because a game is part of a series that didn't sell well in the past doesn't mean it can't sell well in the future with good advertising.

The reason games on the Wii don't sell is simply the two reasons I presented above.  And some other limited reasons in other causes such as bad timing of release (such as releasing it next to a game like New Super Mario Bros or Mario Kart Wii).  Aside from these points, the only factors third parties have to blame for their games not selling is themselves making sub-par games and them taking 3 years to start releasing even mediocre quality games on the Wii.
