I think the correct move is for marvelous to team up with atlus and release PS3 games. it seems like the only hope for japanese developers.

The only hope for Japanese developers is simply to make better selling games. Moving to a smaller platform (and more expensive) is not going to help.

smaller install base, but a much larger game purchasing base.

really? go scroll down to the software totals in japan and tell me if you still believe that.

This year alone they have bought ~3m more units on Wii. While software sales are slow this year on Wii, they have managed 20m more in total sales. So the proof is there that the Wii can move software, but they need to put out something good.

8422k games sold on Wii:

WSR 1347k

WF+ 882k

WF 565k

Mario Kart 371k

Animal Crossing 304k

Wii Sports 255k

Mario Tenis 225k

Pikmin 145k

Wii play 142k

Pikmin 2 135k

Mario Party 101k

SSBB 94k

Wii Music 92k

That's 4628k Nintendo published games out of 8422k total

but wait those were only top 20 Wii title in Japan i counted, now going down to top 50 Wii titles this year we need to add some other games like Galaxy, Donkey Kong etc. which total up to 362k.

So we have close to 5M nintendo publish games sold on the 8422k total  which means if a game sells in Japan there's close to 60% chance it's published by Nintendo.

 

If you got for PS3 that's:

5497k software total

and 740k Sony published  software sold in top 50 PS3 titles so the publisher here takes less than 20%

 

Third party PS3 software sold > Third party Wii software sold
