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. 

 

Links?

I've never seen either one of these games get hyped.  Matter of fact, I haven't really even heard about Valkyria Chronicles.

Like outlawrun said, please link me to some posts aside from Leo-j/Crazzyman that say that these games were going to raise PS3 sales by a notable margin.

Speaking of Sega, I can link you to a thread where two or three posters had stated that NiGHTS would be a million seller.  Another 'niche' title from Sega.
