Who fault is this?? Really, its the WIi owners that are buying the Carnival games in droves and not buying the Red Steels, Xenoblades, whatever game you think is "great" and should have sold more. That just shows what most Wii owners actually care about

How nice to blame gamers.

The first question to ask is always: Did the company who published the game do everything they could to make it a hit?

Little King's Story was a new IP that wasn't advertised. Same for Zack & Wiki. Red Steel 2 was the sequel to a game that sucked, thus a case where brandname hindered sales instead of helping them. Until not too long ago, Xenoblade was a game that was outright denied to get published in America.

On the other hand, Carnival Games had more TV commercials than all of the above games combined.

Show some more respect for the Wii and its owners for once.

Doesnt change the fact that Wii owners still bought the Carnival games in droves, and I have never seen a commercial for that game in the US. Never seen one for Just Dance 1 or Zumba fitness and they all seem to do perfectly well. I know im not blaming gamers, Wii's audience is just more inclined to pick up the games I mentioned than the "core" ones. Ninty games not withstanding.
