I'd say NMH's rise really was helped by being a Wii game, and being unique on the platform in that. Not in Japan obviously, but elsewhere. Word of mouth helped, but I don't think it'd have gotten the same sort of attention as a 360 and/or PS3 title back in 2008, it'd have probably slipped through the cracks.
We'll see how the Move version does when it hits America/Europe. Shame that Konami binned the 360 version in the US though, it'd have done better of the two systems there.
