You are leaving a lot out of those "50 top selling titles" generalization. Anyway, the wii didn't exactly get a ton of rpgs. But regardless, rpgs will always appeal to the nintendo audience.

Nope, go look at the top 50 selling games on Wii, u will see that all of them fit into the categories I just listed.

What are u basing that on? Did N64/GC/Wii have many big selling RPG titles? If I recall, Playstation and handhelds have dominated the RPG genre ever since SNES.

I see many kind of games among wii's 50 best sellers. if you count the million sellers, the variety is really big.

whenever good rpg's are released on nintendo platforms, they sell acordingly. just check the gamecube, wich sold 1.5 million on FF crystal chronicles (a medium budget title with very restricted multiplayer) and had the best selling "tales of" untill recently.

Most nintendo fans are true gamers, with a good chunk enjoying a good rpg and sales always show that. I can't understand who would say otherwise.

The top 50 games on Wii all fall under family-friendly multiplayer, kids games, fitness/dance/music titles, and traditional Nintendo ip. There is 1 single RPG in the top 50, 3 in the top 100 and 5 in the top 200, with only 3 selling over 1 million. The Wii audience was not big on RPGs, there is no denying that.

N64 had literally 1 RPG to sell over 1 million, Paper Mario. GC had a few decent selling RPGs, 2 Pokemon, Paper Mario, Symphonia & Crystal Chronicles.

Their have been 9 RPGs to sell over 1 million on Nintendo consoles in the 5th, 6th & 7th generations combined (over 150 million in hardware), 3 of which belong to the Paper Mario series and another 3 in the Pokemon series.

There is no denying these facts, the Wii audience was not very big on RPGs, just like N64/GC weren't either. If u were a big fan of this genre, u either needed a Playstation console or a handheld to get more than just a select few good RPGs.
