| donathos said: Not being an expert in Japan (or anything, really), I can only guess. But it seems to me that the Japanese have very particular cultural tastes. (Or maybe it just seems particular to me, because it's different from what I'm used to.) It seems there may have been a change there, and maybe Nintendo sensed it, which is why they developed the new wave of Touch Generation/Wii titles that they have. Those titles appear to do well, generally (though the jury's still out on Music). I don't know if the problem is Nintendo, or the Wii... maybe the problem is that third parties haven't yet caught up to the culture shift in Japan. And they don't really have to, because the rest of the world still buys up their games. If Wii sales were down, and PS3 and 360 sales were up, I'd agree that Wii wasn't doing something right. But since all three are down, I'm guessing that the "problem" isn't Wii's alone, but something more general about the marketplace there. |
PREACH!!!!
The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!
...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?
