| Soriku said: The Wii's been selling less this year because no new big games have released. They left a lot of stuff for the second half like WSR, Wii Fit Plus, and later NSMB Wii. In Japan, MH3 came out in August, and Tales of Graces (has a bundle), SRW Neo, Samurai Warriors 3 (has a bundle), etc. and NSMB are coming later too. The Wii's Japan library is arguable better than the PS3's library despite FF XIII. They just need more games, that's all. |
Yes, but it seems like none of those games have really been moving that much new Wii hardware. Titles like WSR and Wii Fit have already been released.
Monster Hunter 3 would have done just as well on PS3.
It seems like developers that could be making those other games typically prefer to work on PS3 instead of the Wii for some reason. For instance there have been at least three to four new jrpgs announced for PS3 over the last month. And, I don't remember one for Wii.
The PS3 is also getting Resonance of Fate and Bayonetta and Modern Warfare 2 in the West. Titles that aren't coming to the Wii.
I think developers are more excited to work on PS3 technology than that of Wii and dismal sales for key games despite the Wii's large install base surely haven't endeared it that much more with developers.
Nintendo needs something fresh.
