I always said this was going to happen, but people called me crazy. Its as if Nintendo isnt really caring anymore.

It will go below 10k, because the upcoming weeks will be big for every other console, even PS2 is getting Super Robot Taisen.

Could the PS2 outsell the Wii in Japan? Now that would be crazy. I believe it hasnt happened yet since the Wii launch.

Holy crap if those Famitsu numbers are right Nintendo better get off there money chairs and start doing something about Japan.

I guess the problem for Wii in Japan is there have been no appealing Wii releases since December....while the 360 and PS3 are currently getting very popular franchise games (Streetfighter, Resident Evil, Yakuza, Star Ocean 4)

I don't see things picking up until Wii Sports Resort.

except americans and every other region on earth is buying wii's like nobodys business......looking at the bigger picture....all the wii needs is MH in japan and that will carry it for a good year if the PSP is any indication.

The current trend isn't very good:

Is Wii near market saturation in Japan for the current price?
Or will March releases be enough to invert the trend?
