| trestres said: Updated with number of games / week. I made this thread because it's too strange to see that no one is willing to take a risk even after 8 milllion Wiis have been sold. Look at the DS and PSP they are getting like 10 games each week, Wii has weeks without a single game, and most are mini-game, ports, western games, spin-offs or sports titles, things that the Japanese don't heart that much. It's getting ridiculous. All the support is going to the handhelds, and the little support left goes mostly to the PS2. What is the Wii getting in March? 4 mini-games collections, 2 ports, 4 sport titles, 1 FPS, 2 Avg games (1 of which is Sonic), 1 spin-off (Yugioh racing game) In April? 5 sports titles, 1 RPG, 1 port, 3 mini-games collections, 1 action game (Tomb Raider) In May? 2 sports titles, 1 RPG. They need more Japanese oriented support if they expect sales to raise... |
As Soriku and I have stated like a broken record, the wii IS getting Japanese games and support.
The PS360 doesn't really have anything big coming for the Japanese market outside of FF 13 demo and FF 13 itself for the rest of the year.
Wii has Monster Hunter G, Monster Hunter 3, Wii Sports Resort, Samurai Warriors 3, Muramasa, Arc Rise Fantasia, Valhalla Knights, Tales of Ten, RE: Darkside Chronicles, Kizuna, Sin and Punishment 2, the crapload of Nintendo conference games, maybe FFCC: The Crystal Bearers, And whatever the hell Nintendo has lined up for the holiday.
The wii will do fine this year in Japan.
"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
