It's a long story. I could probably write the longest status post ever on my wall and go out with a bang, but I won't. Now, answer my question.

DKCR and Just Dance 3 didn't release in the same month.

Boom! There you have it folks, the reason why people are surprised. A bigger game releases this year but the sales are way way down

Notable (million+ sellers) 2011 Wii releases, in order of sales to date:

Just Dance 3, Skyward Sword, Mario & Sonic, Skylanders, Zumba 2, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Lego Star Wars III, Lego PotC, Go Vacation.

 

Notable (million+ sellers) 2012 Wii releases, in order of sales to date:

Mario Party 9.

Just Dance 4 has not yet reached that status.

 

It's worth noting too that I, at least, don't consider Wii's 2011 sales to be at all impressive either. A gander at the 2011 release list likely explains it...
