I think Wonderful 101 will sell better in Japan than anywhere else, as it's Platinum games and their products appeal to a Japanese audience first and foremost. That game stands a chance at doing fairly well for a system with a low install base. Again, a new IP, so like Lego City it is up to guessing at this point. I'm just probably more optimistic. I'm figuring in the fact that Nintendo has become the clear dominant leader in Japan right now and their brand image alone will probably do more to drive Wii U hardware/software than anything else. As you say, it is true, home consoles take a backseat to handhelds in Japan nowadays. But Wii U will probably sell at least 10-11 million in Japan LTD, not a bad number. Also have to factor in that while home consoles have a lower install base than handhelds, home consoles do tend to sell more software. |
Since when? The only Platinum game to sell more in Japan than any other territory was Infinite Space, and that was more because it barely sold anything in NA and EU.
Also 10-11 million is a pretty high minimum when the Wii is only at 12.6 million.
