I've mentioned this before. I think this is a case of where the "core" gamers went. Realistically, if a "core" gamer is going to buy a multiplatform game, which version would they buy? The graphically impressive one. When I go to some place like EB or Gamestop, I always hear customer ask which version looks better. Not which plays better.
What I also found funny, is when I went in to buy The Godfather: Blackhand Edition at EB, the clerk handed me the PS3 version. I said, I wanted the Wii version and he asked, "is there a Wii version of that game?". The manager then had to come out and find the Wii version. I simple case of stores just not promoting those games also.
Still, considering how much software competition there is on the Wii, I think it's doing pretty well. I do wish The Godfather sold better (and I don't understand how since I know more people who own it for the Wii). It's going to take a while to build the "core" gaming crowd on the Wii. With more games like Rygar and Soul Calibur Legends, they have a good chance of doing that.
