Wii is getting rocked. But in a market such as Japan, and it being the only one not having a big game releasing in the last few weeks I guess it should be sort of expected.

My problem is, Is Nintendo content with this steady downfall? I mean they need to do something. I mean MS and Sony will fall again or they'll stay about even but still Ninty shouldn't be content with sales on par with the competition in Japan.

Anyways good sales for Yakuza on PS3 along with great hardware push. 360 drops both in HW and SW for SO4 but it was expected. Not a bad week as long as you weren't looking for something good with Wii.

 

Zucas, The Wii has not had a major 3rd party game released in Japan except Tales of Symphonia 2. With this kind of support from 3rd parties it's no wonder the sales of the Wii will slide. Nintendo is one company and can not support the Wii with software on a continuous basis. Software takes time to develop and with out help from 3rd parties this is what happens. Unfortunately, Japanese developers focused their support first on the PS3 and Xbox 360. This is why their sales are up. However this will change and the Wii will reestablish it's self. Software just takes time to develop.



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
