I'm not surprised, I think gamers have long since moved on from the Wii, and the main reason it's still selling is dance/fitness games

But why would that be a British phenomenon? In other countries Zelda is doing much better. 

It's underperforming everywhere, bar the US, and even then it's not spectacular numbers.

It's performing better than Twilight Princess, which is (by now) the best selling Zelda game ever. 

But Twilight Princess was stuck on one system that was at the time a rotting corpse (if we can call the Wii dead at this point, what do we call 2006 GameCube?) and another that was severely supply-constricted

Seece is right, there used to be a respectable amount of core gamers on Wii, but they moved on and they don't wanna revive it for 1 game  :  (

Wii sold a lot of harcore games, like RE and Twilight Princess, MH, but in the whole 2011, there has been absolultely zero hard core activity on Wii, and since so many huge games came out for HD consoles, people stuck with those and their games

Zelda has underperformed only compared to VGC suggested US pre-orders, It's Zelda, not Skyrim or Arkam City on a console that had zero support the last year

UK is full of Skyrim/MW3/Arkam City ads, so UK core gamers won't revive their Wii as it seems

I believe it will still have legs, because it has a more casual approach because of puzzles and motion control, which will spread the game to core gamers and casuals, so it will have more legs than a classic core game (i believe)
