Is it Wii's worst week ever in Japan (except shortages)?

I'm eager for Wii 2 you see.


Iwata/Reggie already said more games are coming...and they still have things like price cuts (in 4 years, only one $50 price cut...) left to go. I really think they should release a Wii HD (resolution) though.

Oh, and Japan isn't the only market in the world, fyi. Wii was up YoY in Feb, in NPD :P

Really Soriku? You know better than this.

You should read his recent post in gAF. He's on the Wii legal team full force today.

What? People act like since Japan is down means Nintendo have to rush out a Wii 2 ASAP.

Regardless, it's about Japanese sales. No need to bring in NPD to a Famitsu/MC thread.

Only reason I brought it up to begin with was because of Boutros' post.

Wii not doing so well in Japan doesn't mean Nintendo is going to rush out the Wii 2 soon when it's doing fine elsewhere...

just don't be surprised if Ninty does announce the Wii 2 this year =)

If next week numbers are down it is because of the earthquake;.. if numbers are up next week it is because of the Earthquake (replacements of their consoles)  Will be one of those two..

Too soon for insurance re-buys. That'll take months, and be spread out over months too.

Don't really feel like saying anything about the sales.

This is the ultimate proof that the PS3 is the hardcore console and the Wii is the casual console. Earthquakes, tsunamis, total mayhem, but gamers play their PS3 like any other day. Wii gamers have probably forgot about gaming at all.


so you're saying ps3 owners are feaks and wii owners are normal people? Fair enough.

Your reaching a bit there, but Chrizum's comment could have definitely been worded a bit better.

His comments on the demographics are very accurate though.

Normal is boring...



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Hey but his comment is quite universal. You could read it as gamers vs soccer mums too ;)
