Tiger Woods Golf had Wii as the lead platform and did quite well for a few years, actually.

Problem is, Wii owners aren't gullible enough to buy the same game year after year, so sales eventually dropped off until EA dropped support. Wii users, who just want a fun game to play, are basically incompatible with EA Sports' "roster update" business model.

Right.

*looks at Just Dance sales*

The mind boggles...

Doesn't actually disprove my point at all. Tiger Woods on Wii peaked on the third annual release, then started to decline. Just Dance sales collapsed after the third game. Guitar Hero on Wii started to decline after the third title. Catching a pattern yet?

The only difference is that Just Dance had a broader appeal than golf and a much lower price tag than Guitar Hero.

I can only speculate... but do you think maybe Tiger cheating on his wife, gaining infamy for whoring around, and being a creep may have impacted sales of the 2010 release and future releases on the Wii? Tiger Woods had a lot of crap marketed to kids, maybe parents didn't want to buy his game anymore.

Guitar Hero declined on all platforms after the release of 3. However, Guitar Hero World Tour and 5 continued to perform better on the Wii than PS3 and 360. So had you done a little research, I don't think you would have used that example.

Call of Duty most notably saw a decline on the Wii. But lets be honest, that's probably because fans moved to HD platforms.
