Something that I have noticed with the Wii is that many of Nintendo's big franchises have been released to 'disapointing' sales and then crept along weekly until they have passed many people's sales expectations.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Mario Party 8 are probably the best examples of this ... At the rate it is going The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will probably add at least another 800,000 units and pass A Link to the Past and become the third best selling Zelda game ever from Wii sales alone; when you add in Gamecube sales it will likely pass the original to become the second best selling Zelda ever. At the same time Mario Party 8 has already become the best selling Mario Party ever and continues to sell at a steady rate, this is inspite of the fact that it is probably the worst Mario Party game ever.
