I think third parties now knows how to sell games same as what Ninty did, make the game not frontloaded and let it sell for itself. Dont overadvertised it and dont make it a blockbuster. And with Wii's userbase and viral marketing and word of mouth the game will sell as the company expected.
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
