No, by that logic, MadWorld and Dead Space sold badly because they are pretty bad games, and MP Trilogy is a worse game than MW2. 

Prove that they aren't. 

As a Mad World owner...  I understand why the game didn't sell well.  It's just not a game that a lot of people will want to play.  It's an ok game with some very unmarketable qualities.

That doesn't apply to all.....

Little King's Story might be the one and only Wii game where I am genuinly perplexed as to why it didn't catch on. Although I have a couple of theories, such as the strange kiddy image not meshing with the complex and difficult gameplay, and the obvious lack of advertising. I still think it should have sold more though, it was pretty accessible I thought, and one of the most fun Wii games I've played. But really, almost any Wii game that didn't sell I could probably offer a good reason as to why it didn't sell, whether it be lack of advertising, niche concept, or crappy shovelware. It's all about knowing how to market your product and make it accesible, along with creating a genuinly fun game that will please as many people as possible.

And yes, I guess people tend to gravitate towards Nintendo games, sometimes blindly without questioning them, but you have to take a step back and question why that is. There is a reason people do this, because Nintendo has earned the trust of many with their quality games. If you buy a new Zelda game from Nintendo, you pretty much know you're going to get quality. This doesn't include the CDi abominations of course, which were not made by Nintendo :)

In the case of 3rd party efforts on Wii, it becomes far more difficult to trust them, and rightfully so, as 90% of them turn out to be crap. I will never get why so many 3rd parties can't crack the "secret" of making a quality Wii game when Nintendo continues to do so, but hopefully one day that changes, and once it does, the sales will follow.

I agree ^~

The fact is how many on-rails do we need , i got the original TUC but didnt pick a copy of Darkside Why ? for the same reason i did'nt pick a copy of dead space ext. cuz i dont want more on-rails give a game tha worth my 50 bucks like No more heros ^~

This guy is cool.

Wanna see even how games with no name sell well when they are truly great ? Look at murumasa , it did well ... and its very true that Mad World is amazing game that over in 3 hours ...

ahhh Mad World. I was playing that for a while. It was really cool. I put it down one day and never picked it up. I guess I didn't want to go through the monotony of getting to Boss Fight again against the twins.

Mad Worlds game play just didn't click. It plays like a 2d brawler done in 3d. These kinds of Brawlers are better multiplayer. I bet shorter levels, increased replayability by finished unlocks and making the game 2 players would have done wonders.

Game selling is more about selling an experience. If they all ready have the experince why should they by another?

I can see the logic in some of the "MPT wasn't a new game" comments, and maybe that rails shooters are too niche, but calling MadWorld niche is basically calling God of War niche. In other words, its not.

You could argue that it doesn't fit the Wii demographic, *at all*, which makes it niche *on the Wii*, but... you'd basically be agreeing with Capcom's statements then, not this guy. It was way too short, however, I'll give you that.
