@Dodece: Redsteel was a lot like Assassins Creed, big budget for the platform, lots of hype but it didn't live up to hype and the game had some serious flaws. You're right about that RS had a lot of sales because of being launch title and the lack of competition, but consider the low installbase at the time it was released. RS would propably have pretty similar sales if it would have been released 6 months later. So when the game is qualitywise so similar with Assassins Creed, i wouldn't say Wii owners having high tolerance for bad quality games in comparision. Besides, haven't the problem in bad 3rd party game sales been in their low quality.
AC didn't live up to the hype, but it's quality was much greater than Red Steel. I usually don't trust review scores, but there is a fine line between telling if a game is superior to another game in terms of just the score.

From reading hundreds of comments online, I can also tell you that people enjoyed AC much more than Red Steel. I rarely even hear about anyone liking RS honestly.
This will only take a moment of your time. *steals your watch*
