Nintendo's Japan base crumbling? Wii sales only 39k last week..

I am not saying that Wii Sports and Wii Play aren't games. I was simply saying that Nintendo needed a big gun, a proven performer at launch and they had it in Zelda. As enjoyable as Wii Play and Wii Sports can be, they didn't come with the aura that Zelda did. Zelda is a system seller, a proven one, and it was a smart move to port it. Wii Play and Wii Sports on the other hand, have proven themselves, but it would have been risky launching only with untried titles.

And yes I do have a Wii... currently getting the Chicago Typewriter in RE4.
