Is Epic Mickey a lesson to third parties?

It is a lesson, a lesson I doubt anyone really even learned. 

This.

 

If you make a AAA game, and means in all facets (AAA budget, AAA talent, AAA promotion, AAA brand, etc), then you can get AAA sales on Wii.  MH3 already proved this in Japan also a year and half ago, and just look at all those AAA 3rd party games that have been rolling in since...

Epic Mickey is not AAA and yeah cause EA Sports Active is so AAA right? If Epic Mickey did not have Mickey mouse it would probably not have sold so well. That does not mean that 3rd party cant do well on the Wii, however they sure as hell don't have to be AAA.

What isn't AAA about the title?

If New Super Mario Bros didn't have Mario in it it wouldn't have sold as well.

I don't think the point was that third parties have to produce AAA titles to find success, just that they would be as likely to find success with AAA titles on the Wii as they would with the HD consoles.
