Nintendo needs to captivate on the popularity they have with the Mii's and make more games revolving around the Mii's and the Wii stuff, not Mario and their classic IP's. While Mario is popular, people would rather use their Mii's in sports games than the cutesy Mario characters (at least the new players / non Nintendo fans). Plus I didn't say this originally but Nintendo won Japan as soon as Dragon Quest IX was announced for DS. Nintendo has DS and Wii on top for the rest of this year in Japan no ifs no butts, and I think they will have Japan for all of next year too the way things are going. Dragon Quest IX just jumped catastrophically in the 'wanteds' as well since SqEnix announced that it's turn based rather than real time (i think they got a lot of negative backlash about real time). Anyway... Nintendo has Japan in the bag for 2007 nothing can stop them there, anyone that argues that this isn't true is plain flat out wrong, and will be proven wrong when the year is over, NOTHING can turn it around (even if anyone doesn't think the list looks that great which is fair, it's still going to own Japan very easily).
