Plus have you actually checked that there hasn't been any advertisement for the bundles? That would be down right stupid from a marketing point of view. What's the point of even releasing something if you are not telling people that you will? And the Wii is dead in Japan, let's face it, this was the bump due to the new bundle. |
That doesn't make it different from the rest of the world. Usually, the biggest effect always takes place on the first week everywhere. Since somehow its proper boost and advertisement took place in the second week of the price cut in the West, this could potentially mean that the bundle, its Japanese counterpart, will do the same. Sure, it might be stupid marketing-wise, but Nintendo did it everywhere else so why not in Japan?
Also, while the Wii is very much dead in Japan, people are being even more pessimistic than is called for.
