| TheSource said: The thing is he is talking about Japan..I doubt all three will come out in any market this year. I can see Galaxy and Brawl making Japan by the end of the year, Galaxy in Europe, and Galaxy and Brawl in the USA by the end of the year is like a 50/50 shot to me. Iwata doesn't really say Prime 3 will make it out in 2007... In the USA, the holiday Wii lineup will probably be... Galaxy, Mario & Sonic at the Olympics, Resident Evil, DDR Hot Mix, Wii Health or Wii Music, Disaster or Hammer, Guitar Hero 3...which is why I don't think - they really need to/realy will release Brawl this year. With RE 4 Wii, Mario Party 8, Zelda, Paper Mario, Wii Play, Madden, Tiger Woods, Nights, Boogie, Warioware, Rayman, Red Steel and a few others selling fairly well over the holidays too, they will spread out the uber 10 (Mario platformer, Zelda, Brawl, Metroid, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Starfox, Donkey Kong, Kid Icarus) for a while. Zelda is already out, Pokemon will be out soon. There are 5 aces in that hand - Zelda, Mario, Brawl, Pokemon and Mario Kart - guarenteed huge hits - and Nintendo can't just use them lightly. |
You forget the huge sales potential of Animal crossing
