When will the "3rd party software doesn't sell on the Wii" argument die?

The same time the argument of the PS3 dropping in sales post-price drop is over.

by looking at the fact that the PS3 had had almost no sales boost for the Japanese holidays I agree those post should stop, because the post price drop boost is over : )

We will se in others once all holiday shopping is done when the new PS3 minimum is, I beleive it will be a good 10-20% higher than in 2007. The PS3 has a way to go in Japan... FFXIII may be its last hope. I do not beleive that GT5 will be the beast that the ealier games were basically based on the arguments that everyone gives. More racers, cars not as popular in Japan as they were in late 90's... etc. I am actually sceptical as to how FF13 will do, the FF series has become more and more westerized, and we have seen slowly falling Japanese sales(but more sales overall)

 Japan's price drop didn't have long term effect, evidence shows it might have actually made the holiday sales boost smaller than it would have been otherwise.  America's first price drop had no long term effect, sales were back to normal in 2 months, the second price drop is hard to read because it came during the holidays.  Despite the price drop 360 easily maintained its lead in NA.

The only evidence there is to support PS3 price drop having an effect is in Europe.
