With how successful Wii Sports was, why didn't Nintendo further develop the existing Golf/Tennis games on Wii sport into more in depth Mario based version. It just seem such an obvious games to make for the time and both games could have been potentially been 10+ million seller each?

like serious?!? such a good question and i really really wish i knew what went through nintendo's collective brain.

...the day mario tennis was announced for 3DS i just about cried.  it makes no sense at all.

and here i was thinking i was the only one that found it strange.
