Aaaand the Bayo 2 and Hyrule Warrios hardware boost is gone, these were the titles that would provide momentum until Smash released.
Japan is a wasteland for home consoles; I don't think anyone should put any more effort into it this generation.

I dont think Sony and Microsoft ever started putting effort in Japan. they both just threw them out their and let them fend for themselves. As weve seen its not gone well. At least next year Japanese 3rd parties will finally be on board for PS4

Well, that's my point though; Nintendo has made some actual effort with the Wii U and the thing is still barely moving. They'd be better off ignoring Japanese home console projects and trying to decipher the Western markets for a much needed pick-up of the pace over there.

They haven't done enough. (Besides, two of their releases: Bayonetta 2(+1) and Fatal Frame 5 appear to be better fits for the western market. Hyrule Warriors would do much better in the west as well, considering that KT found a blue ocean in Nintendo fans.)

They lack JRPGs, SRPGs, and fighters on the Wii U.
