And before you start, no, sales for Wii games aren't stellar either. Something needs to bring Japan back into console gaming. Hell if I know what it is, though.

Neither does Nintendo in my opinion. It's why they made the Balance Board and now Motion Plus. They're trying to draw Japan back into console gaming, and I'm going to assume they're not 100% happy with the results so far. I think Iwata said at the beginnig of this generation that they're not concerned with competing with Sony or Microsoft as much as they with selling to people who don't want a game system at all.

Too true. I'm actually sure they're happy with Wii Fit (it's selling quite well now, and I think it's moved a ton of hardware), but I'm positive they wanted more out of Wii Music and their more traditional titles. Nintendo's battling apathy, but regarding consoles in Japan they seem to be losing the upper hand.
