Seriously, just wait till October. |
Yeah.. I find it funny that so many people are surprised with Wii's sales. I mean all they have to do is look at the titles released this year and it becomes quite obvious why the console is down.
I actually expected these sort of numbers going into 2010 for Wii, because I examined what was being released the first 9 months of the year. Core gamers began cheering that Nintendo is finally making games focused on them, but the tradeoff is their sales suffer a bit, as they divert attention form the expanded audience. I mean Metroid Other M, Galaxy 2, Sin and Punishment, Monster Hunter Tri.. These might be awesome games, but they sell mainly to a niche of core gamers, and thus won't really move consoles.
They don't really have that big expanded audience game until Vitality Sensor (and perhaps Wii Party). Luckilly this holiday they seem to have a pretty nice balance of core and expanded audience games, that can keep their core fans satisfied but also enable strong sales.
