@Saviour: WSR is more like an August rise, since it comes out the last week of July in the US.
MH3 isn't coming out this year in the US and then it won't have any effect either.
FFCC:CB is coming out this "Winter" which includes almost all Jan, Feb and March 2010, so it's possibly a 2010 Q1 release that will have barely no effect on HW sales.
NSMBWii rise will happen in Nov/Dec since it's "Holidays 09"
Wii Fit+ comes out this Fall, in other words Late Sept/Oct/Early Nov, that's a rise there too.
Then there's pretty much nothing else that big. Beatles Rockband, M&S at the Winter Olympics, Guitar Hero 5, DJ Hero might boost sales a bit, but nothing out of the extraordinary. This year will obviously favour 360 in terms of YoY performances due to big games getting released at the end of the year and a positive YoY first half.

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
