It's not really gullible.
At this point, more people own Wiis than 360s and Ps3s and I guess they wanted the game.
Same reason Guitar Hero 3 sold best on Wii.
Also unlike the other two, Wii is seen as a social console.

I didn't say it was a bad game. If it is their only console, I can see why. Though I'm "spoiled" by the 360 so anything ported from it just never appeals due to the unfortunate effect that the Wii is less powerful. I just wish they would have left at least some of the more major parts in.

Though putting something still pretty good on the Wii and selling well helps them make RB2's instruments better and better :p
