I'm more surprised that the ps3 almost beat the wii as well! What's going on WII?!

 

Im surprised the PS3 didnt. The Wii hasnt released anything of note in Japan since December, the PS3 has. If Sony cant get their act together during this Wii lull, they're in for a bad 2009.

 

Yea Wii has got essentially nothing right now in Japan to grab in new gamers.  That and it has already almost sold 8 million compared to 2 and 1 million by the others meaning they have more to gain in such a lull while others are more likely to already have a Wii.  Essentially, Wii needs something big.  Monster Hunter 3, Wii Sports Resort, and Dragon Quest X are those big things.  A pricedrop or new color or a bundle would help as well.  Monster Hunter G should help.  But of course those aren't all necessarily in the near future.  Some are close such as Spring but still go to survive another month or 2 before then.  Going to be quite the lull for Wii so it will sell close to the PS3 if not behind it for some time depending on the releases.  360 will drop back down of course but stay closer than usual.  Going to be interesting in Japan for awhile but on a smaller scale haha.
