I don't see how this is that surprising. Wii Sports Resort hasn't gone gangbusters like MKWii, Wii Fit and NSMBWii, it's merely sold very well. You are comparing it to the game with the biggest opening ever, in the land of the FPS, it's a tall ask for any game.

Only in Japan is WSR behind Wii Fit and MKWii, and not by a huge amount (it may even pass MKWii)

Wii Sport Resort will sell more, but for now it should seat quiet

I was going to stick another very in there:p  Still though, WSR got off to a slower start than MKWii (not Wiifit) but has done exceptionally well for itself through this holiday season.

MW2 in the US is a beast for the ages.

MW2 wins the battle but loses the war.  According to VGC, WSR has already outsold MW2 in the US.  I think WSR will probably be one of the Top 10, if not Top 5, selling games for all of 2010 whereas MW2 won't even be on the list.

Because, don't be ridiculous, was how i felt about this news.



“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.
