 Wii was almost abondoned by the Japanese developers, no major release on wii unless nintendo games has been made this year, even the 360 gets more exclusives than the wii in japan, so thats why we must recognize that the nintendo brand is strong enough to keep pulling consoles just with its very name...

I think Biohazard DSC and DQMBRV were semi-major, even if both are spinoffs and did a bit worse than they should have.  Some 3rd party catalog games have been getting decent sales this year too, like Taiko Wii 2, Momotaru 2010 or the budget reprints of One Piece UA1-2.

It is looking pretty bad for the rest of the year though.  Inazuma Eleven and (maybe) Earth Seeker are about it for potentially exciting releases (sales wise) and DQX is still nowhere to be seen. :/

Inazuma Eleven has never been confirmed for this year, has it? I'd say Ninokuni PS3 has a higher chance of coming out first than Inazuma, considering the game has an official name and we've already seen direct footage, rather than some ghostly screenshots.

Earth Seeker won't reach 100k sold most probably, it's not even semi-big IMO...

Inazuma Wii's rumored to be releasing along with the movie, which is this Dec.  We'll probably find out around TGS, but it's been in development for 2 full years at this point.

I agree on Earth Seeker, but you never know.  MH clones have done extremely well on PSP, MHG/3 did pretty well on Wii, this one may do okay.  It's going to get a big push from Famitsu anyway, since Enterbrain is producing it.

MH4 should be on Ps3 with online

Its really a game that could make online major on consoles.

PS3 doesn't have enough userbase to make anything truly major, it's lacking the massmarket pull DS, Wii or even PSP have/had.  Go from MH3G on Wii/3DS to full blown MH4 on 3DS.

PS3 should get a Frontier port to test the waters...

If they made a MH on the Wii then I'm sure they can make a MH for PS3. And it would surely have better sales.

 

Other than that, I want DQXI in HD, not in 3D.

And I'm sure FFXIII would've surely had better sales on Wii... because Wii has the massmarket.  Wii can actually take game sales past 2 million...

 I agree... Monster hunter tri did great in japan, is obvious that there is a lot a space for big games for the wii... I know there are a lot of good games in japan for the wii (and wordwide) but most of them came from small publishers, and there titles were almost unknown for most people... And the results were as expected, people are most likely just buying nintendo games, there are a few exceptions thought, but thats not enough to keep people buying games all year around...

Eh, great is a bit of a stretch I'd say, and it isn't really good evidence for FF XIII doing over 2 million on the Wii.  MHP2G outsold every single Final Fantasy game in Japan, and the Wii version did 4 times less than that release.  Obviously Monster Hunter is more popular on portables, but it doesn't really make sense to directly compare it to the PS2 releases considering the series had been on a meteoric rise prior to Tri.

I honestly think that the fact you have to pay for online play in Monster Hunter 3 (and the PS2) games stopped a lot of PSP MH fans from purchasing the Wii version

The full priced MHP2G only did 2.5m, it's done about another 1.5m with the budget reprint.  MH3 did about 1m it's first release, which is decent step up from MH2 on PS2 (600k original, 100k budget).  MHG on Wii sold almost identically to MHG PS2 too (about 250k), which is impressive considering it came out years later with no extra content, and was only playable with the CC.

 

And @ everyone listing games like Graces or Basara, I said mainstream.  Those games are niche compared to Wii's big million sellers (Super Mario, Mario Kart, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Smash, MoHun, Animal Crossing, etc), they're hardly comparable.  Wii can take bigger games to higher sales than PS3 precisely because it has the mainstream audience.... lacking the mainstream was why FFXIII disappointed sales wise, it's a mainstream franchise that released on a niche console for the first time and came up short.  It'd be like if FFIV-VI had been PC Engine games, or FFVII-IX had been on Saturn, or FFX-XII on GameCube.
