That RE fanbase on the Wii gradually stopped caring and each new RE game on the Wii has sold fewer copies than the one before--RE4 to UC to DC. 

Not really, this just shows that we stopped caring for on-rails games :|

2 out of 5 Wii RE games have been rail shooters.  In fact the rails shooters outsold 2 of the actual RE games.

Out of those two games that were outsold by the light gun spin-offs, One of the games was a direct port of a remade game of two generations ago that had already been ported earlier this generation; a budget priced, minimal stocked, under-the-radar game at that. The second game was also a direct port with largely the same disadvantages as the former; it got even less attention than the first Archives not being one of the more popular entries, on top of very poor reception and is what many fans and critics consider a bad port.

 

Always an excuse but never 'the market is not there', it was a perfect port anyway, nothing wrong with it which is no surprise as its a GC to Wii port.

 

REmake was not ported earlier this gen already either, it just had an earlier japanese only release, unless we're calling different regions different ports now.

I don't see why you would suggest that the market is completely absent altogether, i gather that people just want a new, traditional Resident Evil experience. As far as i'm aware, the Resident Evil 0 port is no worse than the original GameCube game; nowadays however, it appears as though people expect at least additional content from previous gen ports or remakes, if a graphical update is not a given, otherwise it's bound to get trashed for being lazy or just a cash-in. If you read a few reviews for Zero Archives (and the first game) you'll notice a common complaint is that there is nothing new to play for content-wise, just a control mix-up, and points are docked from the game because of this. 

Oh and, you misunderstood me. I was referring to Deadly Silence, the tenth anniversary DS port of the original game. Nevertheless the GameCube Resident Evil remake was not ported earlier this generation, the original PlayStation game was. I had overlooked that since they are based off the same iteration.
