How welll did NIGHTS sell in NA?

[Bodhesatva]

Ugh, let's not simply blame Sega for these poor sales. It isn't a TERRIBLE game, based on reviews.

I'm one who consistently sticks up for the Wii in terms of third party sales; there is no question that third party sales have been hampered by the amazingly bad overall quality of the software. At the same time, we shouldn't go completely the other direction, and blame 100 percent of the Wii's third party problems on the developers, either.

Sega made a moderately good game, and it sold like a terrible one (or like a moderately good game on a much less succesful system). These Wii third party problems are largely -- but not entirely -- the fault of the developers, and statements like "Sega really messed up" are only slightly better than "Nintendo can't sell third party software."
