Popular relatively, like the same gen as those DS sold 32m, 3DS 24m, and Switch 36m.

Was the Wii popular in Japan?

Not compared to the DS. Perhaps "preferred" would be the better term to describe what I meant.

Most Japanese gamers at the time had a DS instead of a PS3/Wii and a 3DS/Switch instead of a PS4, so while the audience veered hard into portable consoles from Gen 7 on, AAA kept focusing on home consoles, so most Japanese gamers just learned to live without the likes of mainline Final Fantasy.
