Family Jockey Wii is from Nintendo, saicho. Besides last year they had 3 huge releases: Wii Fit, MKWii and SSBB, Along with SMG and M&S which had just been released in Q4 2007. Then also Wii Music and AC:CF were there to help.
Now this FY the only notable thing coming out is Wii Sports Resort. If they want to meet their projections they better have some big things coming up. Punch-Out is not even that big, and if released without any ads (which I highly doubt) it would not sell that good. But the thing is, that PO is not even on the league of AC for instance.
What else Nintendo has, has to be very big, because neither PO, nor S&P2, nor Metroid Trilogy is big, bah only PO may be moderately big. If they plan on selling 26 million Wii's they have to have something, or at least they have to try to make the smaller titles successful as well. I'm not saying they wont reach those numbers, but without compelling big software, there's no way they are going to achieve it. 3rd parties may help this year, but still without big 1st party games it's just dishonest PR IMO.
