Just marketing! Wii party will be marketed for the whole holiday season along with Just Dance 2 and DK. It was obvious its first week was too little...I expect it to reach 3 millions WW in its first 15 weeks.

I disagree with the "marketing" part. If marketing worked, it would have opened big and continues on a steady decline week over week.

Words of mouth doesn't really explain the tripple amount the second week.

It's a casual game. Casuals don't buy magazines, don't live on forums and buy games only because a) they play them with friends or b) they see them at tv. I think the second factor is the main one for now, while during the holidays word of mouth will work better. Outside of these what could possibly push more sales?
