Courtesy of FOX, boys. A core game that was of higher quality (budget?) on the Wii, here are the sales. It was in 2010:

Probably not budget, but the game does illustrate a point I'm trying to make (and I'm sure you're making to some extent). It doesn't matter if a third-party developer makes a really good core Wii game. At that point, people had far too many preconcieved notions to care.

By the way it was a rather nice looking game, I recall. Decent physics and effects, all running at 60 FPS.
