60k? I thought Boom Blox was at like 200k worldwide.
I saw commercials for Boom Blox....on a Saturday morning on 4KidsTV. How do you expect kids to want to buy that? Kids don't run up to mommy saying " I want this game" anymore. Plus, you know the advertising for the game is bad when people on this website are calling it BLoom Blox. If people can't get the name right, how can it sell?
As for 3rd parties in general, they are selling good, just check the worldwide charts, and single out Wii sales. They don't want to take into account that their game sucks, which is the reason why it doesn't sell.
No More Heroes and Zack & Wiki had no advertising. Nobody seems to remember that when talking about their sales. They both exceeded sales expectations.
NMH =320k
Z&W = 375k
Don't forget to take into account that they are new IPs, which didn't give them an established userbase to count on and they aren't exactly geared towards wide appeal. Don't even get me started on Okami.
