But we can't know how significant it was compared to purely software-driven sales in that term. I would still say it was present, but negligible, given that it would be next-to-impossible without extensive retroactive consumer polling to figure out why they bought a Wii in holidays 2009.
Jam might surprise in that regard, simply because there hasn't been a comparable product on Wii yet, and the way Disney is positioning Epic Mickey, to rebuild probably the first or second most recognizable character on the planet with this title, guarantees its going to be pushed hard, which could push hardware somewhat (though overlap with existing Wii owners is going to be significant)
Vitality i'll agree may not land this holiday season, but there i was speaking more for Nintendo's strategy between now and the successor.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
