I'm not miscontruing Iwata's words.  He told investors in February not to consider the Wii's Japanese sales during Holiday 2008 as an indication of something that was going to happen in the rest of the world.  He said it was a Japan-specific problem because the Japanese public get tired of new technology quickly.  He blamed that specific social trait.
