I don't think companies will announce many more games for the Wii for what it has left of life. At least not the big companies. Capcom, Konami, Namce, they don't seem interested. SE I think will only release DQX. Every announcement third parties made recently was for the HD consoles. I can't remember which was the last important Wii announcement outside of Inazuma. This year is totally empty third party wise for the Wii, only Sengoku Basara 3 (Multiplat), Winning Eleven 2011 (Multiplat) as the big games. The other ones are either too small or comr out next year.

I really think Nintendo will release a new console next year, at least in Japan.

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Wii:

Dragon Quest X, Inazuma Eleven, Sonic Colors, Twinkle Queen, Sengoku Basara 3, Deca Sports 3, Earth Seeker, Winning Eleven 2011, Pacman Party.

Your PS3 list includes some already released titles (Disgaea 3), titles not actually confirmed for Japan (Dungeon Siege 3, Splatterhouse, Devil's Third, Never Dead, the new Silent Hill), entirely unconfirmed titles (KOFXIII, Tekken 7) and PSN only titles (Ikki Online).  If you want to include PSN titles, then WiiWare would tip the balances pretty dramatically in Nintendo's favor for releases.

There's also several missing Wii titles confirmed for 2010.  Off the top of my head Lost in Shadow, No More Heroes 2, Tetris Party DX, 100 Game Bakushow, Jinsei Game Wii and Active Life Explorer.

Tetris Party and Lost in Shadow are already released. Jinsei Game, Active Life you are right, and as for NMH2 I was listing games that haven't been released. KOFXIII is actually confirmed, there are even screenshots. The others are games from 3rd party publishers, but I know not all will be released in Japan. If you want to correct the list go ahead, I don't think the panorama would be any different: Drought for the Wii this year and 2 big hits for next year. Talking 3rd party only obviulsy.
Ikki was my bad.

Tetris Party comes out in August, though Shadow Tower did release last week (slipped by me!).  NMH2 isn't out in Japan yet either, it's fall and was just recently confirmed.

KOFXIII was confirmed for arcades, not consoles yet.  It'll probably hit PS360 though.

I agree that things are bleak for the Wii.  Really though, there's little JP centric stuff all around, pretty much all the PS3 list is also on PC and/or 360 (Wii actually has more exclusives), and targeted at the west first and foremost.   Through the rest of the year, it seems like most of the JP centric stuff is headed to DS/PSP, and from next year on 3DS will likely attract the majority of Japanese support.  This'll squeeze out Wii more than PS3(60) though, as the latter will still be seen as a viable option in the west, though probably basically dead in Japan.

I agree, 3DS will probably crush both, it's already getting all the exclusives... i cant wait, i might actually get a handheld for the first time in my life ^.^

The thing is though abt the Wii, for all the lack of 3rd party support, it's still getting DQ and inazuma, and will probably get MH3G when all is said and done. Along with Nintendo's lineup, it is by far not dead in japan, but for the leading console it is weird
