Why didn't Nintendo never release a Mario Golf/Mario Tennis on the Wii?

Too saturated with those kind of games. There is no way either of those games would have gotten close to 10 million.

How was it too saturated? Where there Golf and Tennis games coming out the wazoo for Wii? Even then, who cares, the Ninty version would have done better as always. And we dont make games that wont get close to 10 mil? should have never made Metroid, S&P2, Wario, etc.

Because those were included in Wii sports, which almost every single Wii owner has. To the casuals, there is no need to get a tennis game, because they have tennis already, there is no need to get a golf game, they have golf already. I think gamers underestimate just how casual the majority of the Wii userbase is. These games would have sold almost exclusively to Nintendo fans, and they have never gotten close to 10 million before.

i know all that, and thats kind of my point. It was like well we made money on these half assed efforts, screw actually trying and giving millions of Ninty fans a game they would want to play. 

Im actually glad about your post, what you stated is one of the reasons, why some of the "core" dont take the WIi seriously.
