Galaxy 2 sold less than Galaxy one, was not a system seller and sold far, far less than NSMB, that's a flop

 

Skyward sword hasn't come out yet, but I'm almost 100% certain its not going to push consoles and  will sell worse than TP

Of course Galaxy 2 sold far far less than NSMBWii, everybody knew it would. As to selling less than Galaxy, in its first 3 weeks it sold more, but guess what - they had different release months. Galaxy 2 came out end May, Galaxy 1 md November.... so in its 4th week sales exploded, due to Christmas. Galaxy 2 is doing fine. As to a system seller, while it didn't give any big push (after all it's a sequel of a game that most people who were interested in already had a Wii), I am certain that without it numbers would have been worse.

Skyward Sword - we still need to see how the game turns out. If it's a great game, it will sell consoles.

Its not doing fine, it'll probably be outsold by NSMB Wii this holiday as well.

And of course it sold less than NSMB is a reason its a flop and should have never been made

 

No because then its resources could have gone to actual system selling games

 

 Unlikely, Zelda games haven't sold consoles in a long, long time

So basically every game made this gen, with the exception of 10 games or less, are flops. RIP game industry.
