Japanese standoff: [PS3 vs Wii] Holidays Edition

[trestres]

All these release dates are brought to you by Dengeki, and I do not guarantee they are 100% correct, although I will say the site is as reliable as you can get. Also I might not know the names at all, so I will just give a description of those games.

With both PS3 and Wii being close in YTD sales for 2009 over there in Japan, I decided I would do a list of upcoming games by platform and month until the end of 2009, and based on this you should decide who will have the bigger edge at the end. I will update later if more games or price cuts/bundles/HW revisions are announced.
