| Zlejedi said: Sorry but Japan sales tell us it's not true. For 2010 over 1600k Wii consoles have been sold. WSR sold over 540k copies Wii sports sold 105k. 1 in 15 people buying Wii in japan actually wanted to pay money for Wii Sports, 1 in 3 wanted to pay for WSR (with unknown number of them being wii owners from 2009 or before). |
Japan also tells us that NSMBW is the bestselling Wii game, that Wii is tracking well below PS2 and that it's struggling to stay on par with PS3 outside of the holidays. Unlike what it was in previous generations, Japan is the worst indicator for worldwide sales and demand this generation.
Japan has really been a mixed bag for Nintendo this generation because it's too "core" and has generally sold casual games in relatively fewer amounts than the West so using it to analyze the sales of casual games, especially Wii Sports, is rather pointless.
