Yeah, but I don't want any of the hundreds of RBN songs that barely anyone would buy, just these three songs that have good potential to do well. Eh, I would be nice if HMX offered these songs for Wii...not more and not less for me at the moment.

A few facts about RBN on the Wii:

1. Unlike the PS3 format, the Wii song format is significantly different than the 360 format. The PS3 format change is mostly just some console header changes, while the Wii requires some reauthoring to change stem places, possibly fix animation issues, and other issues that most of us aren't aware of.
2. Wii DLC sales are significantly lower than PS3 and the 360. Example: RB3 DLC In The End has 58,148 360 unique ID plays on the 360, 24,692 unique ID plays on the PS3, and 3,973 unique ID plays on the Wii, and it's one of the better ratios for the wii.
3. RBN did very bad on the wii. Only 4 songs have more than 1000 unique ID plays in RB3, and only 10 have more than 500. Granted, this is missing RB2 info, but to compare, on that same list, the PS3 only has 1 song under 2000 plays (1955) and most are over 4000, while the 360 numbers are all over 5000.

So, poor sales, combined with an increased cost in porting the songs over = not profitable for HMX, as there just isn't the market for it.

BTW, the songs in the top 4 for the Wii? "Higher" by Creed, "Paralyzer" by Finger Eleven, "Bodies" by Drowning Pool, and "Semi-Charmed Live '09" by Third Eye Blind, which is a good list of the heavy hitting bands in RBN. Honorable Mention to Seether who has #5 and 6 on the top 10 as well.

(Stats gathered from Rockbandscores.com, and only provide a partial glimpse into sales, but will function well enough for this)
