Are you serious? NO! You can not be. Just look at what the JRPGs have done for the sales of the Xbox 360 in Japan. When that console first released no one thought that it would have a chance to sell a million units. Now with the help of software that actually interest the Japanese gamers the sales have increased. This is the same for the PSP and the PS3.
The PS3 did not beat the Wii because people just went out and started buying PS3s. Major software that interested gamers are what helped the PS3 to sale.
The bottom line is that you want the Wii to fail and this colors your view of sales figures of the Wii in Japan. This is why you state that major releases will not help the Wii but as I've shown, they helped all the other consoles.
If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
