Viper, it's a bit rich to claim the forum going Nintendo fans don't support the developers. Most of us here have probably bought a lot of the niche Wii third party games that the wider public didn't care about. But the forum-going Nintendo fanbase is a tiny fraction of the overall market. No game lives on our support unless it's extremely low budget.
I bought The Conduit out of support for the developer. It had a shit single player campaign, no local multiplayer and the online multiplayer only lasted so long before it became unplayable. I said I wouldn't buy a game out of 'support' again after that, but now it seems Conduit 2 has the very feature I e-mailed HVS and asked for (Mario Kart style splitscreen online), so I probably will be buying the next one.
I also bought a bunch of the other games on your list, which turned out to be mediocre or crap. We can hardly be blamed when a shit game doesn't break a million, especially when we don't number anywhere near millions ourselves.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
