So happy to see it. Great, imaginative game.

So, can we get a sequel now??

Seriously saying this game sold bad can not be anything else than trolling. It was a point and click with almost no advertising. It looked "kiddish" and the name was meh.

Of course there is some really bad game as Game Party that sell way more but it won't change the fact that good games sell and are profitable on wii.

Or maybe he hates all pink fluffy avatars? How many people are "afflicted" with kirbyitis anyways?

OT: Great that it reached 500k. Hopefully they make Z&W2.

he might hate kirby avatars, but i had my roger avatar when i made that comment

Ah damn, well there goes my well thought out and planned theory!

congrats to capcom. Now get off your ass and make something original and hardcore

It has the highest number of software (and hardware) sales, DESPITE the lack of AAA and "core" games...

And when you actually look at the TOP100 Wii sales (34 million sellers, 78 500k sellers), there's nothing to complain about: THIS is the choice the "almighty" game industry has given us on Wii... that's all we could buy anyway!!!

If more good "core" games had been released, sales would look even more impressive, and Wii would have even more "non casual" million sellers...

So sure, there are some casual titles on that list, and even some poor ones... but i see most of the best Wii titles in that Top 100 (with the exception of Okami, they're ALL there), and i see games in (nearly) all genres, for all kinds of people... many original titles, and many fun titles, too... but a lack of RPGs, Action/ Adventures and FPS, that's for sure...

But with 2009 and 2010 line-up, things will only get better and better for Wii's library... Wii has a very solid userbase, and good Wii games have a chance to stand out and shine (and MAKE PROFITS, quite important too), even if sometimes it takes 50 weeks instead of 5 in the "old business model"...

Cos' one of the most impressive feature about Wii (and DS) is the LEGS... many titles seemed like commercial failures at first, but then, one year later, everything's just fine... a proof Wii's market is very healthy, and deserves more respect, more investments, and more good, if not excellent games... will 3rd parties accept the challenge? THAT is the question...

Which has sold 250k in 5 weeks at an almost rock solid 50k per week. Far too early to call as it is with most Wii titles these days.

Could very easily break over 1million next year

Great... the sales of Z&W and Patapon shows that freash ideas can make money ;)
