Well, the fact that I'm completely wrong (even prior to posting...) just speaks for itself.  Well, not completely.  It's still yet another sequel selling horridly on Wii.  As to why it's selling so bad, that's certainly up to debate. 

The reviews are decent enough.   It's a shame really, deserves better all around.   Mind you, I played the first game, I've no interest in it either.

The general consensus is that de Blob 2 really isn't much of an improvement over the first game and that one was plagued by repetition, a major issue that hasn't been fixed in the sequel. Now sequels doing terrible on the Wii seems to have to do less with the audience than the games themselves. If a game doesn't seem to be worth its price tag, well, then you don't buy it. It's as simple as that and the reality is that most sequels that get put on the Wii aren't worth it.

Then you have sequels bucking this trend, like Just Dance 2 which offers substantial improvements over the first game (at least that's the word). That can't be coincidence. Lastly, there are titles like Super Mario Galaxy 2 that don't outperform their predecessor, but also don't perform notably worse than comparable games did on the PS2. A sequel selling less was pretty common on the PS2, even if it had the same or a higher level of quality.

de Blob 2 sales on the Wii would be worrisome, if the game did better on the 360 or PS3, but it bombed on all platforms.

This

If the PS360 versions were selling about 100,000 copies, then yes, its bad. But its selling even worse on the PS360 than Wii. So its the game at fault here, not the platform

I blame bad release time and lack of advertising as well as making a mediocre game when great games are coming out now
