Theory: Nintendo holding back Wii announcements to give DS the last push.

i think they are holding back games because why should they spend money developing games when they could completely stop making new games for the rest of the generation and just release wiiware games and still keep up the same kind of sales.

That is obviously not true. Look at the effects of them not releasing too many new games has on the Wii sales in Japan. Also like everybody has said for ages. Nintendo is a software company that makes hardware to fit their software, not the other way around. Yes Nintendo could think they could make alot of money off of hardware, but they were and always will be a software company, and that means they will be making future releases. Also you must be in major denial if you think they will only release wiiware games the rest of it's life.

 

I don't believe a word of it. Nintendo is the only area where sales are dropping, which I should mention are about half the sales of the US, everywhere else it has grown despite what you call not releasing too many new games.

Sales have increased by a lot.

I'm not in denial, I'm saying they wouldn't have to release anything this year except wii ware games, and sales would still grow. Just look at this past year.

Also, I have a theory about the Japan drop, it's simply because everyone already has one :P
