I think the source change their image names daily or something. It's broken after a day fixing it over and over.

It's pretty funny that even with only having 3 games. The Wii will still out sell the 360 by 3 to 4 times.

Just because someone is saying something different. Doesn't mean their point of view is right!

Which is worse? Buying a "popular" system that has no games releasing or buying a system nobody wants with lots of games releasing?

I suppose Nintendo thought that The Last Story will rise up hardware sales for the entire month of February. I guess they were wrong.

But despite this fact, Wii isn't doomed yet in Japan. It still has got a new Kirby, a new Pokemon, Zelda: Skyward Sword and DRAGON QUEST X.

Expectations have fallen drastically if this comparison is being made.

It's really mind boggling that 3rd parties ignore the Wii.

It's got large userbase and few competition.

You can easily own the whole gene on the system that Nintendo don't bother with.

Yeah, they should do more ps3/Wii releases like Sengoku Basara and Rune Factory.

Though I suppose many may consider it pointless, given how little a Wii version will add to their total figures.
