Of course there are lots of examples of core games on the Wii that haven't sold. There are also examples on HD consoles. To say core games don't sell on the Wii is an oversimplification that ignores all those core games that have sold (e.g. Red Steel, Star Wars, not to mention Nintendo's core games).

What he said.

Pacman taught people to run around in dark rooms munching on pills while listening to repettive techno music and for that I somewhat idolise him.

Well, I don't know about that, butin the case of NMH, the fact that there's going to be a sequel indicates that its sales were at the very least acceptable.

Okami didn't sell much better on the PS2 so I don't know why anyone would expect it to do better on the Wii.

As for Mad World, it was Sega who said they were happy with the sales so far. Platinum may be disappointed, who knows?

EDIT: And I would add that I wouldn't have expected much more from a black and white game that lasts about 6 hours and is priced at $50.

Wondering;....What can the guy do then? Don't all his games sell low? If he didn't made a sequel his new game probably also would sell low. Now he can only hope sales will grow if the franchise goes on =p.
