Why is the Wii getting so few games weekly in Japan?

@mike: Why are you attacking me? Should I report you? Because my point stands, the PS2 is getting more games. A 9 year old machine getting more games than a 3 year old one, that's not common. And when if you check my post instead of mindlessly attacking me, you would see what kind of support is the Wii getting.
All this means that home consoles are dead, because all the games Japanese want are going to the portables or to a last gen console.

 

I did not mean that to be taken as an attack.  I apologize.

That being said, I do think that it is not as much of a problem as you are making it out to be.  You are right, the PS2 is getting more (one more) game than the Wii (my second post added the numbers). But we don't know the quality of the games for either -- which is really what makes a difference. For example, in the US, a lot of the Wii games that people consider "shovelware" were previously released for the PS2 in PAL regions (particularly Australia).

Also, the way your OP read, it made it sound like the PS3 and Xbox 360 were also getting more titles (even though that is not what you said). In truth, they are not getting nearly as many titles and only the irregularities of release patterns make it seem like there is an issue. (Also, if I recall correctly, the biggest differences occured later in the quarter, which may mark games that could get delayed).
