Core games that were well made and not highly limited in appeal did well on Wii; Monster Hunter Tri, COD World at War /Modern Warfare/Black Ops, Goldeneye 007, Resident Evil 4/Umbrella Chronicles/Darkside Chronicles.

The audience didn't tolerate half-assed "test" games like Dead Space Extraction, that's all.

All of the call of duties sold on the Wii dont even amount to one sold on one of the HD twins. Thats how badly COD sells on a Nintendo platform with a majorly casual community. Monster Hunter is made for that audience, think Pokemon...just more mature. Your standards for sales are low for Resident Evil, especially on a platform that sold 100 million. The original Playstation sold a little over that over the Wii in Sonys first year in gaming and the first Resident Evil sold more than all of the Resident Evil games released on the Wii.

The audience was comprised of mostly non-gamers. The true gamers were extremely minor. This is what people found out about the Wii.

Sales over a million per game, over 2 million in cases, are good (and profitable) sales, you cannot achieve such numbers a "tiny" core userbase. If the "true gamers" were really "extremely minor" they would have sold 200k a pop.
