Because of a single week where no recent big Wii games have come out? This all changes in April and Summer - MH3. |
Well third parties surely have a hard time on PS3 and Xbox360 in Japan as well but he's right: For the big userbase the Wii really doesn't sell a lot of third party software. And I doubt Monster Hunter 3 is going to turn the tide around.
The console market in Japan really is in a bad shape currently. Microsoft was almost non-existent there just a year ago or so, Sony has a high-end product on the market that dramatically underperformed compared to what was promised and Nintendo overestimated Wii demand as well. Add a big reccession to that ( Japan's economy is doing terribly bad) and you get the deal.
