Was WiiParty a smart decision by Nintendo?

It did sell well but in North America and Europe it is only selling 10's of thousands where as didn't Mario Party sell way better? Japan is like the only country the game is doing well in, really well in. Should Nintendo have made it MarioParty instead. Or are the sales in Japan worth the drop in sales in the EMEAA and North America?

You notice that there wasn't a drop from week 1 to week 2 in the US? That's

That's pretty important to note

Yah but selling 90,000 in a couple weeks is not really good. Nintendo considered Jungle Beat a failure when it sold like 32,000 at launch and that was on the GameCube which had a much smaller user base!

Userbase is not equivalent to expectations. This is something you need to internalize.

Nothing is a failure based on its first week. Wii Party will cruise languidly past every Mario Party in history with a wink and a smile, at a pace so leisurely you'll barely notice it.
