So with 08 just 1 month in and Wii hitting the ground up and running by rolling out some highly anticipated hardcore titles to different regions, we have reports of SSBB pulling in huge numbers in Japan whilst No More Heroes seems to have sold most of it's first shipment and seems rather illusive in most US retailers as I can gather. Here on the other hand we've finally received Zak and Wiki and I know a few people wanting it who are struggling a little to find it - even Amazon and other online retailers never seem to have stock at the moment.
I see early signs that in 08 - third party devs are gonna find their feet and they'll be a few decent titles having legs - it just seems retailers are currently ordering minimal amounts of stock in terms of Wii third party software. Do you think Nintendo should do more to market the third party games or not?
In terms of NMH & Z&W we see here that the retailers and perhaps publishers seem to have underestimated these titles, do you see retailers eventually being forced to order more titles in the future for other releases and learn from their mistakes or do you think they will continue to typecast the Wii and burden it's sales in the future?
