Look very carefully and you will realize that only 3 of these games are million sellers.

Pixel Art can be fun.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I noticed this back when Boom Blox Bash Party was announced. Most "Party" games haven't sold more than the original Boom Blox...

Check out this chart.

Is RRR 3 tracking ahead of 1 & 2 because of the power of "Party" branding, or is it just growing with the Wii userbase like RRR 2 seems to have grown over RRR 1?

Of course not. There is still a notion of percieved value. The title is only part of that. Game Party probably did as well as it did because of reduced price and timing.

Though i'd keep my eyes on MySims Party

Wow. Never realised there were so many Wii games with Party in the title. 3rd Parties can be so lacking in ideas. How can they can just slap party into the title and be as successful as Mario Party. Don't they realise they also have to add Mario to the title. So Boom Blox Party should be Mario Boom Blox Party.
