Japan...you...you call yourselves gamers!? :o

Anyway, this is really because the Wii hasn't got jack (at least nothing big) the entire year =/

But Wii has...

Wii Sports Resort

Monster Hunter 3

Final Fantasy: Crystal Bearers

Wii Fit Plus

Samurai Warriors 3

Pikmin 3 (?)

Mario & Sonic Winter Olympics

Punch Out!!

Nintendo can announce some other stuff too. Like Mario Party 9 as one example. Also I think Tales of Graces will be out before March 2010 (fisical year).

Wii really needs those games.

MotionPlus and colors can also help...doubt they'll do a price cut anytime soon. And don't forget bundles. MH3 bundle = massive if they do it.

why should WSR be big?

just look at deca sports 2

everyone has Wii sports so why should WSR boost sales?

what the wii needs are 2-3 HUGE and 3-4 good games

 

i meant wtf now Punch out and Wii fit + are considered big games?

poor nintendo...

 

 

You're comparing Deca Sports to a MONSTER like Wii Sports? Really now? Wii Fit Plus will at least keep the Wii steady, won't provide a big boost. The older Punch Out games sold well and they want this game to be big...

And did you seriously ignore the rest of my post?

Ugh, I hate ignorant people.

 

Those will stabilize sales yes and maybe boost them a little but invert the tendency ? Doubtfull for Japan.

I don't think a console ever pull off reverting a 18 months sales slowdown to have sales surge again afterward...

Lets not forget than in 2008 ( the year of SSBB, MK Wii, Wii fit ( released at end of 2007 in Japan)) the Wii sold less hardware there than in 2007....

 

Those games without a price cut won't help make up for the slowdown in the first 5 months of 2009.( they will push the Wii past the PS3 but I don't expect the PS3 to rock much in Japan until FFXIII...).

 

PS : I'm not sure Samurai Warrior 3 will actually boost hardware much because Koei is releasing so many Dynasty Warrior spin off that you can get 'all you can eat' Dynasty Warrior without needing to purchase a Wii....

And without knowing how good Dynasty Warrior 6 Empires will be, so far the only worthy Dynasty Warrior released in the last year has been Dynasty Warrior Gundam 2 ( the only one that actually was original..).
