It's almost 2 years after its announcement, I would call that vaporware.

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.

Fullfilled Prophecies

Probably moved to their next home console. Nintendo has been marked this gen by the constant delays. I haven't seen a company with such internal development problems. Almost every big game got delayed for them and that ended up hurting sales pretty badly. Hopefully this will get fixed by next gen, so no last minute changes have to be made to every single game that's about to come out.

My memory must foggy because I can't figure out which big games are you talking about? I remember Smash Bros. being delayed twice but at 10m. sold I don't think hurt sales at all. Metroid Prime 3 was delayed but sold normal Metroid numbers. Mario Kart and Wii Fit weren't delayed. Maybe Super Mario Galaxy?

Wii Sports Resort and Motion Plus. Zelda SS. Vitality Sensor. Kirby Wii (by HAL)

For all the games Nintendo have released this gen that's nothing out the ordinary, and it probably on a more reliable ratio than most devs...

Same as GT5, DN:F, Kirby Wii...

And we know what happened there

Give examples of devs that got as many games delayed please. Besides these games were supposed to come at times were Nintendo had very little ahead, that's why I said it ended up hurting sales of HW not SW.

There are some other games besides the big ones

Wii Sports Resort and Motion Plus
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Zelda Skyward Sword
Kirby Wii (HAL)
Wii Relax and Vitality Sensor

Not exactly a console dev, but I agree they are terrible.

That's so last gen ;)

Nintendo takes the crown this gen no doubt.

Oh and We've had as much info on VS as on those games I've named.
