@Tonio: I'm not sure about the core games. I would rather say big named core games with steady stream. The lack of new audience games, is something i see being a bigger problem. If you look at DS, Nintendo put a number of new audience games to it, that lit up the charts, that led the 3rd parties to the platform. I see the bigger problem, however, being that even the japanese devs focus on western market, instead of Japan, and therefore the games on all platforms doesn't appeal to their domestic market.
On a side note, on home consoles side, Nintendo haven't ever performed exceptionally well in Japan.

The HD consoles are around 30% cheaper in UK that they are in rest of the EU, so importing isn't that rare. And Wii price increase propably hurt it a bit.
Ei Kiinasti.
Eikä Japanisti.
Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.
Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
