From GAF:

I took a look at the number of games that were released this year in Japan {2011.01.03 - 2011.03.20} (Twin packs aren't counted as different SKUs, budget releases are included in the total number)

PSP - 55 (20 budget)
PS3 - 37 (6 budget)
360 - 27 (2 budget)
NDS - 25 (4 budget)
3DS - 13 (0 budget)
WII - 7 (2 budget)
PS2 - 2 (1 budget)

lol.  Looking at this, it's almost a miracle Wii is still pulling ~10k weekly.  Jesus christ Nintendo/3rd Parties, I don't think you could've fucked this one up any harder!

It's much more the third parties fault, Nintendo can't released a Wii game every month and also support the 3DS launch. Heck, even the Xbox 360 has had 4 times more launches than the Wii! The Xbox 360. (Granted, most of them were multiplatform with the PS3).

Yeah, Wii was pretty much the only shot Japan had a PS2-like home console this cycle, and 3rd parties blew it.  Nintendo's not blameless though, they should've done much more to get them on board, but man, what a missed opportunity.
