Extremely POOR launch for Wii Party IMHO!

Actually, not really. Mario Party 8 opened with 32K too and ended up with 2 million. No one really expected this tittle to sell 200K first week or sell like Wii Play (aside for some crazy dudes).

Mario Party wasn't popular in EMEAA before 8 

This is the "wii brand name" game thats been released, I expected more.

VGChartz has Mario Party 7 lifetime at 120k! Compared to Wii Sports Resort at 8.2 million. Poor damage control.

Just because it has "Wii" in the name doesn't mean it is a Wii series for really. It is a lot more in line with the Mario Party series and that's obious. And what if Mario Part wasn't popular before 8? What does this has to do with it?

Exactly. The connection that wii party has to the previuos wii-iterations is mainly the miis and that it is a collection of many games. However the games themselves and the way they're brought to the table are quite different.

I truly dislike the way people, like the one you quoted, act. They call out others for saying things without properly backing up their facts, while they themselves back their facts up by assuming to understand how millions and millions of people think (in this case that people couldn't understand that games with the "wii"-name could be quite different from each other).
