Now that I think about it, not Nintendo, but the Wii itself cannot be allowed to have that gap. Things with Party in the title do not spur hardware sales. The point I'm  trying to make is look at how this software gap has affected HW sales in Japan.

Neither does anything else this generation, with the possible sole exception of Wii Sports. Even Halo 3 only moved about 250,000 extra consoles before the spike faded back into the 360's normal growth pattern.

The era of the system-seller as we know it is over. The market just doesn't work that way anymore. Most people get consoles long before their most-anticipated games are released, leaving comparatively little left over for the release dates. This is great for early console sales, and all three of this generation's consoles benefited from that. But it leaves little hope of significant lasting boosts from pretty much any post-launch game.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
