Well it's because the casual players dropped Nintendo. On the other hand, you see the rises of Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem and other IPs. People want novelty, with their beloved franchise.

Now that's false. Nintendo's success in the 7th generation was nothing more than an aberration, a fad that Nintendo's fans will cling onto *while the company fails to reach those heights again.

Anyhow, it's impossible for this game to have sold zero units. Someone out there bought it. VGC just isn't tracking it correctly, it seems.

it's because you get those games for free or 1 dollar on smartphones and tablets. at least i think most of the people who bought those brain age games are fine with smartphone "brain" games.

THIS. This is the only reasonable explanation.

A lot of the early replies were quite funny.

Tablets and smartphones taking over the handheld market, bit by bit. Anyone still want to argue that point?

its easy... Those 35 millions trained a lot, they become smarter... Now they don't need this game again... And those who didn't bought this game before are too dumb and not interested to become smarter... The same will be with WiiFitU... ;)

Release date for Europe is March 8th, so it seems that at least the OP should consider to pick the game up as it's evident that it could be of good use for him.

Wow, the game isn't even out yet. Now this is a MAJOR flop.
