Kojima: Japanese game industry is in trouble

[Paul_Warren]

"Right so after the holiday season when Wii wipes the table with PS3 software and beats 360 software by a pretty good margin you'll be saying the same thing?"

Maybe, but I live in the hopes that eventually people will wake up and stop buying inferior games that don't deserve to be purchased in such huge numbers like Wii Sports, Wii Fit, and Mario Kart Wii and all of these other Wii games that have received sub 8.5 scores from the major review sites but have sold more than far better games like MGS, Uncharted, and Ratchet have this gen. That is not to say that the Wii doesn't have any good games because it does have Mario Galaxy and Zelda Twilight Princess and this new Wii Ware titled called World of Goo, for example, but really the only Wii game scheduled for the rest of this year that looks like it should sell at least a couple of million units is the new Tales game. Games like Wii Sports, Fit, and Mario Kart Not so Good as the Gamecube or DS Version don't deserve to sell more copies than Zelda did and I predict that Wii Music and Animal Crossing: City People both fail to get Zelda type review scores.
