Believe me. If Wonderful 101 fails next week, the Playstation Nation will be all over that thread. For now, they've prolly just decided to stick their head under the sand acting like this week never existed:D

If it's true they're only shipping 30,000 for W101 in Japan, there's almost no way it won't fail. It's guaranteed to flop in Europe; they seem to hate Nintendo over there, and being a niche game and a new IP on top of that, it never stood a chance. Mixed reviews were the nail in the coffin.

Hence, next weeks Media Create numbers will have these people flocking to that thread enmass. About Europe: Europe have never seemed to care about Nintendo home consoles(including NES, SNES), with Wii being the only exception. Then again, they allways ate up Nintendo handhelds. Nintendo prolly still find the Euro markets puzzling.

True, W101 really needed stellar reviews, especially since its a new ip. The mixed reviews have prolly done irreperable damage.
