Those japanese third parties that are starting to focus on the Wii should be getting worried right now... |
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.

The one thing I still can't understand is that Wii had its best year hardware wise in Japan the year it was out of stock.
Now that you can finally find one in stores, very few people actually buy them..
|
Even less people buy the PS3 and 360 in Japan either.
So why should Japanese devs be worried of Wii support? They should be worried more of HD support.

They should be worried generally home console support.
