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.

MH3 could maybe have done better on the PS3 but it would be more expensive, Sony doesn't have enough marketing experience for a game like MH. Nintendo is going to market MH like Pokemon.
Those last couple RPGs announced were by devs who have been on the PS3 from the get go, not like devs who've previously done Wii games have jumped ship or anything.
Resonance of Fate is also on the 360. tri-Ace already have experience with HD games. Bayonetta is going to the HD consoles too but it's because MadWorld is on the Wii. MW2 I expect to go to the Wii later (like how MW1 is on Wii now).
I don't think most of this is due to technology though.
At the same time, not like the HD consoles are getting MH3, DQ X, Epic Mickey, Arc Rise Fantasia, Fragile, NMH2, etc. If the Wii was HD, smaller devs like Marvelous or Grasshopper would have to stick with the PS2 or handhelds most likely.

They've sold enough copies on PSP.
I still maintain that No More Heroes would have done quite well on either 360 or PS3 and probably sold closer to a million than to 500,00 copies.
