Wii is over 100k more than it was last year. :O

THAT'S NSMB Wii. A new 2-D Mario platformer can have an amazing effect on the momentum of a console.

Now Nintendo just needs to prove they are still serious about the Wii with more games, particularly more motion plus and balance board games, and they need to start showing games for the vitality sensor as well. If they do this, the Wii will be an unstoppable force in 2010. If they continue to slack like in 2009 and put their trust in 3rd parties to fill the gaps (which they largely did not accomplish), sales could plummet to even worse numbers than 2009. NSMB Wii will help carry the console for a little while longer but even a game this good cannot carry it forever.

Monster Hunter 3 is a good start, I think this game will have a bigger effect in the west than people think.
