@Oyv: I'm worried about Wii not being a viable console for games other than their own big franchises, as we have been seeing in 2008.
2007 was more encouraging, but 2008 was just a terrible year for new releases. I'll agree that PS3 is also seeing a big decline overall, but Wii is ranging from poor to pathetic.

Edit: Also out of all those 500k+ selling games you pointed out (where there's only 1 3rd party game), only 2 of them were released in 2008. It clearly shows that Wii is losing steam, or maybe that there has been no worthy games released so far, and the only ones coming up that may do that are Wii Sports, AC and MH3. Nothing else will sell more than 500k in Japan.

Edit 2: PS2 saw an increase in 500k+ sellers on its second year, while Wii saw a sharp decrease.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
