I think there's also the "problem" with the 8 number, as it's actually the first one made for the Wii, even though it has all of its flaws, and the reason you stated about the casual gamers AND the success of the wii.
and I would extend the "excuse" for the DS one too. there is not any other MP game for the DS... no wonder it's selling well with such a huge number of owners!
the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
