Other M has sold less so far than Corruption did in its first two weeks by VGChartz numbers.

By NPD numbers, it's about on level with Corruption's first week.

Sales patterns don't lie very often. It's sales are dropping faster, harder, and lower than Corruption. Chances are extremely high it will end up selling considerably less in the long-term.

Out of curiosity, how do other Nintendo "sequels" on Wii compare this year for NPD?  Like Mario Galaxy vs Galaxy 2?  I wonder how Wii Party will track versus Wii Play too, this might be more of a platform issue than MOM's negative response might be letting on...

Wii Party versus Wii Play, are you fucking kidding me? Wii Party was an auto-buy when you get a new Wii, it maintained a close relationship with Wii hardware sales for years, and this was when Wii sales were a phenomenon. This is since it was basically a $10 two-player game to go with your second controller that happened to be great fun.

 

Even if Wii Party had managed to take this role from it, we would only expect it to track well below Wii Play because the Wii itself is no longer a phenomenon (and Wii Party isn't gonna make it one either).
