@Lolcis: Yet none of those will sell remotely well,, trust me. There's not an audience for those games. Almost no actual Wii owner will be buying one and not many people will be willing to buy a Wii over new IP's. The Wii needed a big core game to attract more possible hardcore gamers, but sadly it hasnt had one yet, and wont for a very long time. MHG will do nothing, proof http://vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=1987342 so you can caount that one out. Then the small niche RPGs like ARF, Kizuna and Muramasa wont have any effect on SW and will sell relatively bad.
Nintendo had to think about this, how in the hell could they think that relying only on casuals was the way to go? They are alive thanks to core gamers, they cant forget about them. PS2 and DS are mega successful because they cater to both audiences, but so far no core gamer will be willing to buy a Wii in Japan when all the other consoles offer 100 times more content and quality. It's simple, Wii is destined to have it's worst year ever because of negligence of Nintendo and 3rd parties. Nintendo should have moneyhatted and also developed more games. This could have been avoided 100%, and Wii could have been up YoY. Now you cant change this, no one is hyped over anything Wii releated in Japan, so sales will continue to drop. I think that we will see sub 10k sales pretty soon.
