Just because a zillion people went to see a movie doesnt mean its good in any shape or form. It can be mediocre or even garbage (and usually the reviews reflect it). As long as it has a multimillion dollar marketing budget and sexy greased up people or a popular franchise, it will sell.
Just because hundreds of thousands bought a game doesnt mean its worthy of the plastic it was stamped on (or flashed, in the case of the NDS).
Looking at that list I can only take comfort in how poorly the PS3 is doing. Not EVERYTHING sells by the boatload no matter how much you hype it. But that is offset by garbage like Wii Sports and possibly the 15 NDS games I've never heard of and can only assume arent all critically acclaimed.
Koei knows they have job security because they can easily measure how much they're going to make on each game, it always tops at #1 at least for a few weeks.
It's not like we don't have others that don't do the same. Look at Nintendo, they know that whatever they push out with a Mario brand on it will sell X amounts, same with Metroid, Zelda, etc. Look at people like Capcom who continually push out Megaman or Konami with Castlevania. All the games in the series are essentially the same, yet they make a fixed amount of money and sell a lot of units regardless.
