When it came to the slump in Wii hardware sales, "wait for WSR and M+" was like a mantra for some Wii fans. I never thought it had a chance of seriously moving hardware, but even I expected a bigger boost than that. If Monster Hunter 3 doesn't end the slump, Nintendo might have to seriously consider their price point. Yes, the Wii is still handily outselling the HD consoles, but that doesn't mean much; those two have sold poorly since launch. The Wii was the one console that managed decent sales in Japan, and now those sales have dried up.

Great software sales, though.
