So they are expecting to sell 1.6 mill units for this year, as trestres says this means there will not be any new big or at least medium (Resident Evil spin off) Wii game for this year.
Breaking down their 1.6 mill estimation
- Monster Hunter 3 (US-Europe) --- 600k-800k
- Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles and Tatsunoko Vs Capcom --- 300k
- Sengoku Basara (Japan) 100k
- Japan The Best titles --- 100k-150k
- Other legged worldwide games (Resident Evil 4 Wii and Umbrella Chronicles) --- 100k-150k
- Okami, Resident Evil Archives, Spyborgs (lol) --- 50k-100k
Total: 1250k - 1600k
It is painful to see how Capcom dropped the ball with Wii this year despite an outstanding last fiscal year. This is not understandable from a business perspective. Wii sell (undeservedly) great amounts of third party software, mostly shovelware and crappy niche games like MadWorld and yet they still refuse to support the platform. What it is happening with this platform is beyond my comprehension.

Yeah, it's kinda awful. You'd think a retail MegaMan title or a theoretical RE4.5 would be an easy sell, and enough to excite the base (there's clearly a decent audience on the machine for both). Or hell, even a Wii version of MVC3 given the already have a ready engine to drop assets into with a third the likely cast already done. :/
Their DS projections are pitiful too (but at least it gets Ghost Trick and Okamiden this cycle). I wonder if Capcom's gearing up for 3DS or something?
