| TheSource said: What is Earth Seeker? 2011 could actually be pretty strong for Wii in Japan given the baseline is likely this: Ongoing sales: Wii Party, NSMB Wii, WF ....DKC Returns, Kirby New Sales: Inazuma Eleven Wii, Zelda, Last Story, Pikmin 3, Mario Sports Mix, Wii Relax, possibly DQX Other pushes: Price Cut (there will be more than one price cut in five years!)
In theory, some PSP support will go to Wii as well, as 3DS should kill off a fair amount of its support. I wouldn't be too surprised if there were some 3DS to Wii ports which could help. |
Source, let's be honest about this. The situation in Japan for the Wii is abysmal ATM if we speak about 3rd party games. Nintendo has this year covered to some extent (already losing to PS3 YTD), but without a single semi big 3rd party project it's all theirs to carry.
Plus lol at Wii getting some PSP support. This year Wii has seen almost nothing announced in comparison to the PSP there in Japan. PSP is a very viable console with a strong and active userbase. Same cannot be said for the Wii after the 3rd party disasters. So far this TGS has been empty of Wii games.
2011 will be a very weak year for the Wii if we take into account all we know so far. It's Inazuma Strikers, Zelda: SS, Mario Sports Mix and possibly VS and or Pikmin 3. DQX will not be released next year, no way in hell since DQIX was released a year ago. The Last Story is scheduled for 2010.
I'm thinking next year might be Wii's last breath in Japan. Nintendo will most probably release a new home console in 2011 there and 2012 in the West.
