When is DQX releasing for the wiiu? It needs it real bad at this point. Can someone remind me again why many were saying WiiU will control the japanese non-handheld market? 

1) Mario
2) Monster Hunter
3) Dragon Quest
4) Pokémon
5) Animal Crossing

And it will control that market, but it's pretty irrelevant. Japan represents something like 10% of the global home console market.

I mean, the best-selling PS3 game in Japan was FFXIII... and the Wii had 9 games that outsold that. It had 14 million-sellers in Japan to the PS3's 2. In the long run, Wii U will win out. It will keep those blockbusters that pushed Wii sales, even if the "Wii series" doesn't make such a powerful return.
