If consoles were dead in Japan, why would Wii be selling more than the PS2 there, in terms of aligned launches? |
Because that was launch.
If a good (NSMB) title sells through the roof for a handheld (when is the last time a CONSOLE game sold 5m units in Japan??), and an awesome (potentially GOTY) for a console struggles to sell 1m units (not that I think Galaxy will - but the signs are there :P) - what does that say?
By all these accounts, Mario Party DS - will sell 3m units THIS YEAR.
...
I did think it was a little odd that even though the Wii continues to sell out (instantly) in the US & most of Europe - its been sitting on the shelves for months in Japan.
(now Ive just gone from being Mr Positive to Mr Negative... we'll see anyway. Sales could always jump significantly as Xmas hits - its always happened in the past).
