NSMB Wii will be the main propeller of Wii momentum into the first half of 2010, the other games just have to help keep it up, so yeah they don't have to drive Wii momentum, just be moderate successes

NSMB, WSR etc. can only do so much, and they not only have to carry momentum but try and reverse the trend. They may carry Nintendo through a quarter, but we'll see the exact same thing happen again if Nintendo doesn't have any major releases in the first two quarters like it didn't last year.


  No, because last year it didn't have anything for more than 2 quarters, Animal crossing and Wii music bombed in 2008, that's why the momentum was lost in 2009, there were no games, this time NSMB Wii is not a bomb and there are more games coming in 2010, totally different situation.
