I didn't say it's sales were bad, well I did but I gave a direct comparison, which was RRR, my point is on the Mario Party issue had nothing to do with quality but with what you brought up which was the unique elements of each of the subsequent mario parties for that platform. I'd say that a person buys each Zelda knowing it's going to be a Zelda - However TP is on route to out sell OoT, I believe this is the effect of a fast growing install base, that will of course become larger than N64 by some time next year.
In that logic I conclude that RRR2 underperformed when you relate it to RRR, both came out during hectic seasons, one at launch the other at christmas, the difference is that the install base was much larger at RRR2's inning. Clearly somethin went wrong, the game failed to do what a party game is supposed to do, which is attract everyone.
Of course that's impossible, but the difference can be seen in games like Mario and Sonic at the Olympics, Mario Party, Wario Ware, and to a lesser extent even Carnival Games.
3 of those are new IP's.
There is no denying it is one of the best sellers on the Wii, but given that the name is known now, it should of seen at least some growth over it's predecessor.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
