Japan usually tells us what is the next big thing right?

Back in the day Japan would have been a good indicator for telling what the next big thing is but not anymore.

For everyone who says not anymore. Take a look at this weeks Japan preview.

Yes the 3DS is obviously going to be a choice. The price cut, and nintendo taking advantage with a pokemon game made this a simple guess.

But what is interesting is all the work nintendo has been doing there recently. The wii and DS has had multiple games in the top ten this last month, while Sony has been absent (did they not learn from nintendo about having games out?). No even though the PS3 is going to have MH(?) come out the Wii is getting DRagon quest I believe around the same time. 3DS well over 100,000 the writer thinks, and the Wii beating the PS3 for the first time in months over there. This could be a fluke if it hadn't been so close for weeks now.

Then on the back of all this we have the games coming out in EMEAA that everyone has been dying for.

Then we have Xmas where Americans traditionally buy Nintendo products.

Long story short I think this proves my thread. Nintendo finally after some hard work is back on top for a bit. Did anyone predict that this would happen? We all thought they were done right? I for one am happy to say that this is not the case, and even though everything is slow right now this is a big story and there is a battle already started once again.

3DS has Xmas to get a strong foot hold, The wii U is coming. Lets begin the new console wars people!!!
