Good observation, but you could use better examples. How about Wii Party or Kirby's Epic Yarn or even FlingSmash if it ends up doing well?

I'm planning on expanding this to incorporate more games, but I'm pushed for time and resources IMO >.<

Tomorrow I shall update with your ideas

How can it be your opinion that you're pushed for time and resources, xD?

This is something really cool about the Wii, though. It means that Wii can come in first place altogether even if it is never in first place weekly and doesn't have any titles in the top ten.

I'm not explaining it well. I'm too tired to do it IMO

Althoguh the bolded point is correct. Looking at, say, Sonic Colours (and looking up Wii Party) you can see whilst neither set the charts alight, they will continue simering away in the 30-50th best selling region for weeks, even months, slowly pushing the sales up and up, for many over 1 million (e.g Boom Blox)

It's why you can never EVER write a game of completely on the Wii until the console actually dies. Well, sort of

Meh, I knew about this trend ages ago. You can do better than that. I'll give this thread a 5.87/10.

:(

I'll try and jazz it up for you then. I have limited time now, so tomorrow.

Just to gauge...if I were to put in lots of info and pictures and advertisements for DKCR would that make it much better?

It would instantly turns into a 0.3/10 thread



Above: still the best game of the year.

I was just updating it as you posted, so yes, it is now

I'm expecting big things from Udraw, maybe around 2mil for Studio, and maybe 1mil for Pictionary, but I'm not confident of the sales unless it come to the EU IMO

 It's worth remembering that a portion of these legs are simply due to price cuts. How much it's very hard for us to tell, but even some of the games listed in the original post are half price or better in the UK alongside their apparent rise in sales. 

 Some of the sales used are distorted by Black Friday too, which is fine, but chances are some of the trends you're alluding to are going to be exclusive to the last 5 weeks of the year.

The issue is that, as can clearly be seen (and as many will tell you), the legs for a Wii game are somewhat larger than that for the HD twins. Why is this? Is it due to a price cut? Doubtful; Nintendo games hardly ever get price cuts yet they keep selling at a steady rate!

The Wii games are more "evergreen". The Wi is known for some titles (NSMBWii, MKWii, Wii fit) and new people buying a Wii get one of these titles with it as well. Therefore, as long as the Wii continues to sell, so will these games.

That's my theory anyway, and with that I shall see you later!
