Mario Party 9 should be coming - although Fortune Street (Itadaki Street) releases in Dec and is a bit like Mario Party. If you go on Walmart.com or Gamestop.com, Mario Party 9 shows up.

Wii in 2012 is still going to be a fairly big market for software. Wouldn't be surprised to see all this stuff in the West at all.

Dancing: Just Dance 4, Zumba 3, Just Dance Kids next and whatever spin offs Ubisoft, Majesco, Konami can come up with for the system.

Niche Core Games: No reason not to bring over Pandora's Tower, Xenoblade, Last Story to the US / Europe - games are done its almost free money for the couple 100,000 people who will buy each.

Japanese Content: Rhythm Heaven, Pokepark 2, Inazuma Eleven, Dragon Quest X .

Other Content: Mario Party 9, Madden, Call of Duty, etc

All that stuff plus a price cut to $100 is probably enough to keep Wii selling 100,000 per week for most of 2012 especially with various games from 2006-2011 still selling well (Just Dance 2-3, Zumba 1-2, Zelda, player's choice games, Wii Sports Resort, DKC, Mario Kart, Mario & Sonic, Kirby, etc)

Just Dance 3 though will largely indicate what kind of numbers Just Dance 4 will do next year when it can really stand out as the major Wii game late in the year.

I'll be happy enough if it does abut 50K on average per week during the first 6 months then a price cut to $90 - $100 will keep it afloat and when wii u launches it will drop of course but should do ok in the holidays, I can see it selling about 6-7M in 2012 or maybe 8M.
