I couldn't tell you; I haven't kept up with SMG2 in terms of NPD. I might have if I was running a topic like this one, but it's sold consistently well since it launched, I believe.

Sequels do not tend to do great on Wii, but that's not the whole problem, here.

Well, no, the (western) critical response to Galaxy 2 and MOM are like night and day.  I was just wondering though, all I really have for both games is Japan (where Galaxy 2's tracking behind, while MOM's tracking ahead, for some obvious reasons).  Wii party is also lagging Wii Play in Japan afaik... I really do wonder how Zelda will turn out next year too.  Late term 2nd Zeldae (MM, Oracles, TP GC, ST) never seem to do as well.

Wii Party shouldn't be compared to Wii Play; I would sooner compare it to Mario Party or to nothing at all.

I'd say the game has more in common with Wii Play from a market perspective (Wii ____ branding, mandatory controller bundle).  They're somewhat different when you get to the actual games (though within the same general genre), but I'd say the same for Prime 3 and Other M to be honest.
