The launch aligned software sales being ahead of PS2 is in reference to the US market (and presumably NPD figures) only.
Also, Reggie's giving some pretty direct insight on Wii 2 here... expect a 3DS-like launch lineup...
"However, if you recall our Nintendo 3DS announcement yesterday, we were able to announce the lineup that we did yesterday because the third party developers felt the possibility of a particular platform and came ready to support it from the launch time.
So when the time comes for us to release a new platform on the home console side, the question becomes how do we convince and demonstrate to those third parties that the next platform is going to be a success? And if we are able to do that, then the third parties will come to the table with their content, and to that, we’ll be able to add our own first-party content.
I think when that time comes and we are able to garner that type of support from the third parties, coupled with our own software contents, then naturally, we will be able to create a situation where many software become available and various types of people start to participate. We will also be able to create a good cycle for that new platform, which encourages consumers to buy software. When we’re able to do that, then I believe some of the challenges that you pointed out will start to move in a positive direction."
