Well, as long as Nintendo keeps on releasing games without any info or media push and without any ads, they will keep on bombing and only appearing at 1 region, the one where they bomb.
We know Excitebots bombed abominably, and that it was Nintendo's fault for not even making a short TV ad, while on the other hand they keep on advertising Mario Kart, Wii Fit, etc.
Nintendo products are becoming niche, mainly because no one knows about them. I fear this might make Nintendo focus only on their most important franchises while the rest disappears. Hopefully Star Fox, Donkey Kong, Pikmin, F-Zero, Kid Icarus and all those new IP's from the October conference will make it someday to the USA, but all points at the new IP's never coming and those old classic IP's being finally killed in favor of more Mario, Metroid, Zelda and Wii series. I'm a bit sad now.
