3rd party games just don't sell on Nintendo home consoles. This is almost an established fact.

Just Dance, Skylanders, Disney Epic Mickey, pre-MW3 Wii COD, Goldeneye 007, Sonic Secret Rings/Colours, Zumba Fitness, Monster Hunter Tri...

Like I said. Should've said: 3rd party games that are not party games don't sell on Nintendo consoles. 

Sonic is basically first party. Just Dance too, or it was, and it's a dancing game. Skylanders is a game for kids. Mickey too. CoD did not sell well at all. A beastly franchise selling barely 1m on the most popular console is embarassing. Don't know what Goldeneye sold but surely it wasn't much since they decided to make a sequel on PS3/360. Zumba...you know what I will say. MHTri is Monster Hunter at the peak of its popularity. So that's maybe 2 3rd party games selling well if we're generous and we continue ignoring party/dancing games as we should.

Dancing/kids/party games are just as legitimate as any other genre.

Eurocom said they were happy with Goldeneye Wii sales, and the Wii COD games were profitable and broke the million barrier until MW3, even if they didn't rival the sales of the PS3/360 versions. Activision/Treyrach wouldn't have kept making them if they were failures.
