I’d love to see a graph plotting the sales and play hours of this game over time. I imagine the initial spike would be dramatic, straight up. Then plateauing then a very sharp fall as people get bored of the shallow mini games. 3.2.1 *flame suit*

You just described a sales curve for 98% of all videogames.

Dannybuoy, I’d agree with you if you’re talking about people playing on their own, but these mini-games are designed to be multiplayer and the aspect of competition between friends and/or housemates can extend the life of games massively.

A lot of people are still playing Wii sports with their pals and Wii sports resort is way bigger, there’s more to do and see there and stuff unlocks as you play too.
