The reason MP8 is so successful is it matches the Wii audience very well, and because most people buying it have never played a Mario Party game before to know how inferior this version is (it's still fun though).
And based on the declining returns on this series I'm not surprised Hudson Soft didn't put a lot of effort into it.
However, knowing what a beast they have on their hands, I'd expect MP9 to be a far superior version with much more waggle control, better gameplay overall, better graphics, etc. And if that's the case, it should deservably outsell MP8.
