I just call it Wii damage control. Whether or not the PS3 wins Japan (even though it will), the Wii still loses.

I'm just waiting for the excuses to be used to justify why the Wii struggled in 2009.

Waiting for the excuses? There's more than enough of them in this thread

We already know why the Wii struggled in 2009, even Iwata admitted why, so why does anyone need to give an excuse? The facts are already out there. The point of this topic was whether PS3 can outsell the Wii in 2009, in Japan, not why Wii struggled.

2009 is actually probably one  of the best year for 3rd party releases in Japan on the Wii....

 

Monster Hunter Tri, Monster Hunter G, the new Samurai warrior game soon, Tales of Grace..

Aside from DQX, third party ain't gonna get much better than that..

And that list is actually much better than 2007 or 2008...

perhaps, but Nintendo first party was much weaker for Wii WW this year

Pretty sure this is a thread about Japan.

Besides that argument doesn't hold a candle.

2008 was by far the strongest year for Nintendo first party releases in Japan right 

Well 2008 Wii sales in Japan were down 20% compared to 2007....( 2.9 mill compared to 3.6 millions).

 

Sales are just dropping even faster in 2009 which is kinda expected, product sales tend to start to fall slowly and then the fall accelerates..

 

2008 was the strongest at the early part of the year, yes, but by the holidays it was Wii Music and Animal crossing whcih as we all know were failures and the holiday sales were down by nearly half a million, same with most of this year and the dearth of first party titles
