I know you've been absent for a long while, so you may be out of the loop. Fact is, the Wii is only market leader in theory (going by total hardware sales), but in reality the PS3 is (going by the real standard). That is number of new game releases. In this category the PS3 outnumbered the Wii in 2011 by a factor of 8 to 1 or something like that. A console with barely any support that outsells a console with full support is quite a big deal. 

I wouldn't call Just Dance Wii, Kirby and Zelda ''barely any support''. Especially since it's the first Just Dance game in Japan. There's a whole unexploited market for the game.

Make up your mind. You can't agree on the saying that there are only two or three games worth buying released per year for a Nintendo home console and then say that three games are good support.

Good support covers a broad range of tastes and the Wii releases in 2011 certainly didn't do it in an adequate manner. Not in Japan, not in the rest of the world. The Wii had a few fairly big games here or there, but nothing much to speak of to fill the gaps.

Aren't we explaining why the Wii beat the PS3 this week?

That's because there are right now 3-4 games worth buying for the Wii.

It doesn't matter that it had a weak year when you enter the holiday period as long as your lineup is currently strong.
