I guess Steven Spielberg himself can't even summon enough magic to dispel the black cloud hanging over nearly all third-party Wii releases. The sales stats are coming in for the game I've heard nothing but great things about and they're dismal. Just 60,000 units in its first month amidst an absolute ocean of an installed base of Wii machines is just terrible.

Joystiq calls attention to another terrible-selling game that's also a critical darling: Zack and Wiki. I've seen Zack and Wiki in action and while it's not my cup of tea it's definitely got charm and puzzle-solving fun to spare. Let's hope Boom Blox finds a second wind soon and gives Spielberg an excuse to make more games as well-designed as Boom Blox seems to be and not walk away from the industry in disgust.
