Perhaps if we actually knew how many people played Wii games online. This decision would make more sense.


A lot.  Check any of the NPD or other research firms reports and you'll note that it wasn't long ago the PS3 surpassed Wii in online usage. 

People love to make generalizations against Wii while the majority of them are completely false.  The notion that few Wii owners even play online (such as your post is insinuating) has been refuted by data since it launched.

 

EDIT:
LOTN, that goes without saying for every game.  It's also been a major detriment to the sales for many Wii titles.  For example, THQ slammed Wii owners for the palty sales of Deadly Creatures yet admitted that they never ran a single TV ad for it.


Well I felt it needed to be stated, since a lot of blame on both sides is given, but marketing is almost never brought up, and I see that really is a common factor. Even the games that open poorly seem to have some legs, so marketing is a major reason these games don't sell, regardless of what is and isn't in them.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
