Why does it seem that unhyped Wii games become 1 mil sellers?

Why is it that hyped up ps360 games like Army of Two, Burnout, or maybe Valkyria chronicles sell under expectations but totally unhyped Wii games easily sneak to large numbers without anyone noticing?

I want opinions.

Really? I didn't think this game has much hype at all really. It seems to have less hype than Zack and Wiki (and even less press). If people think Valkyria Chronicles has hype, then I guess Im doing my job.

 

And secondly, the game isn't released!

Are you serious? People have been claiming that this game is going to raise PS3 sales by a notable margin. A niche title from Sega.

Then again, people said the same thing about Yakuza 3.

Yes I am being serious. Could you give examples of these boisterous claims (outside of leo or CrazzyMan), because I haven't seen any.

I'll be impressed if hardware rises above 15k and this game does more than 125k lifetime.

 Strategy RPGs have never been especially popular like action RPGs and traditional RPGs have been.  Valkyria Chronicles will do well considering the game's niche status
