Nintendo is clearly in trouble in Japan. None of the games that are being released even manage a slight boost and end up bombing.
When Uncharted 2 is able to clear 100k, but games like Super Robot Taisen or S&P2 bomb, then clearly there's no interest in the Wii at all. I wonder now what % of the Wii owners actually bought a Wii and still use it there. There's no way Super Robot Taisen bombed like that. It's impossible. Also, the lack of advertising for S&P2 and hype really killed it. Shoot em up's sell far more on the 360 with a userbase that's 8 times lower.

Bets with Conegamer:
Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
