It is actually a bad sign for Nintendo. They haven't been selling as much in Japan lately and the PS3 has been outselling it for a little while. Also the Xbox 360 didn't do that low compared to the Wii. I think the Wii has saturated Japan and won't see sales pick up again if they don't bring out some really big games, stuff that appeals to traditional gamers. I think that's part of the reason the PS3 is picking up and 360 doing alright too.

I wouldn't be surprised if the same holds true elsewhere in the world. There are only so many casual gamers. Nintendo really does need to focus on the hardcore more to keep a big lead. Don't get me wrong, Nintendo has done great and I don't expect them to lose their overall lead.

 

...And that's why Nintendo has core stuff in development too. They released most of their core stuff earlier and they've been developing more obvious. I expect most to come out in 2010. 2009 will definitely have stuff too though.

People are getting way too full of themselves in this thread though. lol at PS3 overtaking the Wii in Japan. If the Wii stopped selling in Japan RIGHT NOW it would still take many years before the PS3 could catch up. Let alone EU!

i hope, because so does sony and at lesser extend microsoft.
