Bets with Conegamer:

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.

Soo DK, Kirby, Last Story, and im betting on the vitality sensor showing up in the fall conference for either a holiday release or early 2011. Not a bad holiday lineup for nintendo, but it is lacking some 3rd party games we saw last year(SW3, tales of graces...).

The only notable 3rd party game lined up right now is probably Earth Seeker, and that's a longshot at best.  I expect we'll get a surprise or two though, maybe Inazuma Eleven Wii for the holiday and some of the usual suspects (Momotaru Denetsu, Taiko no Tatsujin, etc).   a SW3 XL/Empires expansion wouldn't exactly be unheard of either, nor MH3G (though that's probably 2011 due to MHP3 coming this year, if at all).  More DQ lead ins would be appreciated too, but after Battle Road Victory sort of flubbed, I'm not getting my hopes up...

Big update, added all the SW and HW to be released during the PlayStation Move launch week.

Next results will be influenced by new PS3 SKUs and Wii controller bundles... It should be interesting...

PS3 is really doing well in Japan despite the huge price difference.

What's the total score so far? Anyone bothered to count it?

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

Yeah, if you want to argue sales, even with fewer 3rd party titles, those Wii games will likely sell more total thanks to DQX alone.  Inazuma Eleven's potentially pretty big too, though I could see that one not doing so well also (like DQMBRV).

I do still agree, if we're going into speculative titles, MH3G's likely.  I think we'll also see an upgrade release for Samurai Warriors 3 (ie: Xtreme Legends, Empires), Taiko Wii 3 and a new Momotaru Denetsu.  Probably a DQVII remake too.

DQ7 seems like a long shot. DQ remakes are easy on DS cuz enhancing the older versions are easy. I just dont see SE giving time for a remake now :P Hopefully DQX is closer than we think

I'd expect a potential DQVII Wii to look a lot like DQV PS2 (and probably be developed by the same people, Arte Piazza and Matrix Software).  It won't be a visually arresting remake, and will probably be pretty low budget really.  Also might be JP only due to that.

LOL FAIL

A DQVII remake would take 30 years to make according to S-E!

18:12 in favour of the Wii so far. Will be 18:13 next week.

I think PS3 will catch up pretty soon considering there's barely anything getting releaed for the Wii during the next 3 months and PS3 still has PSMove coming up in October.

DKCR and Kirby. The Last Story is probably coming too, but it's not confirmed. There are no big third party releases though.
