Surprised relative to what?

2009 Wii sales in Japan are not going to match 2008 or 2007 even with a "wait and see" approach unless there is a Mario miracle. 

If there was going to be a turnaround we should be right in the middle of it now with WSR + MH3. 

What about 2010 sales?

Their 2010 lineup for Japan (I must stress I am speaking only about the Japanese market here) is not very good right now. 

Super Mario Galaxy was a hit in Japan but not really a blockbuster. NSMB Wii in 2009 will be much bigger than SMG2 in 2010. 

Metroid hasn't been relevant in Japan since Michael Jackson was still black. Zelda even if it makes it out next year, is a series that's in a decline in Japan (Twilight Princess I don't think even managed 500k in Japan). 

The one ace that I think Nintendo may have for next year is that Wii Vitality Sensor. If that could take off like Wii Fit, it could buy them a chance to do ... something. 

Square-Enix *must* help Nintendo next year. The Wii must have at least a Dragon Quest VII Remake or something like that.  

it managed 600K in Japan.

DQ7 remake would be nice.
