lol but PS1 and PS2 only had 1 major re-design

which PS3 has also had now actually.

I'm sorry but like others said your statement is incorrect.

Come on there are 127 million japanese, and not even 11 million wii on the market. There is still plenty of potential buyers.

Maybe... but japanese are a bit different from western.. they love to replace older models with new ones.

And young children? And older? And not interested? And families (one Wii for 4 people)?

10% is a very high number of gamers in any country.

Is my argument so flawed??

No that much withour RPGs...that's the true reason why consoles are doomed in Japan this gen. DS and even PSP are their primary systems.

But you know ,the elderly and young girls are all potential users of the wii ,who are not live with any gamer ,but they will not buy a F**King vediogame console just like PS or Xbox ,so it means Wii will enter more family than any other consoles,So it is hard to say wii doom , of course it's in trouble now

For me Wii needs a new model... not a new color... a new redesign.

If this happens 20M is possible.

I think it is (and has been for several weeks now) a result of the upcoming Move. Japanese love new consoles/gadgets, and Move is one, hence why (imo) the PS3 should have gone down much more lately yet didn't. And (in Japan) maybe Wii buyers are not buying as many Wiis also in anticipation of Move. We'll ses next week how much of a hardware boost PS3 gets. If it's a lot, that will be in my eyes possible proof that what we have been seeing for some time now was the Move effect.

Great ,the time will proof all these opinions,and the rest weeks of japan market will be very interesting!!!

LOLOLOL

WTH is this? Ps3 'increased'....Japanese thought Kirby was in HD confirmedz?

Great numbers for the handhelds and PS3!

People just expected too much of Kirby....I think something of the same nature will happen with Donkey Kong...however I think it will and should at LEAST lift more HW than this...this is just horrible
