I don't think the Wii will be up in terms of year on year sales. But I'm expecting strong sales mainly in EMEAA because of the new bundles (maybe a record, who knows...). Moreover, I'm expecting strong sales in January and February because we will have the release of Mario Sports Mix in Americas/EMEAA and the release of The Last Story in Japan.


Why not? America has a lot more software and momentum than last year. It could be up YOY. Japan seems to be the only weak link here and I'm sure DKCR can remedy that to an extent.

Besides, it'll break Japanese records next year with TLS and DQX. If they're released around the same time in November or December, we could see the Wii doing something like 1m in a single week, xD.


The Last Story is a January release. DQX is a possibility but ATM I wouldn't give it good odds for a 2011 release. If we don't hear anything by SE's January press conference it probably won't come next year.

Ah, didn't know TLS had a release date quite yet. Well, not as if JRPGs aren't known for being delayed. Oh, and I know about DQX, but Horii reconfirmed it for Wii recently and said that it was coming "sooner than expected". If they wanna release it for the Wii, I doubt they'll do it when the platform's completely dead. Following or being followed by TLS will be great for both as it'll ignite a JRPG base in the Wii.
