my god we've had this same topic 3 times a;ready in different weeks and it's only February - soon people will come on and say the Wii's bubble has burst then next week sales will go back up and people will come on, bmp the thread and say ha - you were wrong.

So it's having a low week - in Japan there's massive demand right now in terms of Wii fit still riding high and SSBB, given that the Wii had the larger drop off in figures around sep, oct, nov time in Japan - why wouldn't they push as much as they can into that region right now as they finally have some demand?

This would have been planned in advance and is probably the logic in delaying US release of SSBB - allow Japan to have next few shipments for SSBB / Wii Fit then ship to US in time for their SSBB release when they will also get more hardcore gamers buying the system as these are the people thats waited for a more traditional hardcore title to get released to commit to buying a Wii.

I think 08 is obviously gonna be the year when demand is met but only briefly and certainly not first week in February as titles like Wii Fit, SSBB, Wii Mario Kart will push demand through the roof again.
