Despite everyone saying the Wii would still have hardcore games, it's not really catering to the hardcore-oriented buyers as of yet.
When it launched, Zelda:TP sales in the US were insane, which led to the belief that it was mainly old GC guys buying the Wii. However, it seems that the vast, vast majority are hardcore-casuals (ie, are real casuals and buy like it).
This is why WarioSM and MP8 sell over games like Tiger Woods, Godfather, and SPM. This shows that the people that buy these Wiis aren't your typical GC fare-ers, or PS2 guys. They're a different breed, and thats what Nintendo wanted (and is getting).
However, it's still good that SPM hit both charts well. 150k for either nation is good. To be fair though, 1/2 the games that charted in Japan haven't hit the US. But most likely, they won't fare very well on the top 25.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
