Thee Wii software droughtwillkind of end in 2 weeks,(in NA and Japan(

After another 3 weeks, consistent software will start to release more frequently for the Wii and DS, so I expect a solid rebound.

Wii
April: Excitebots/ Monster Hunter G
May: Punchout
June: The Conduit
July: Sin& Punishment 2

 

As I said somewhere else in this thread April 2008 saw the release of MkWii.

This list put together isn't going to do anywhere as good as MkWii did ....( all those titles put together won't sell 25% of what MkWii has sold so far).

Globally I feel the Wii will do roughly the same sales in 2009 than in 2008, Japan will be down 20-25%. Other will be even, America will be higher( a lot higher the first 9 months but I feel the holydays 2009 won't outperform holydays 2008 as the demand issue is solved and Wiis aren't so hard to find these days)...

 

 Although there has been word that MHG's sales will give the Wii a boost; preorder sales for that game have been skyrocketing.
