I assume you meant when the Wii hits $199 AND Nintendo increases production.

afree_account is right but Stubbs, it doesn't really matter. Look at Wii Play, Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy, SSBB, New SMB, Nintendogs, Brain Age, Mario Kart DS, Mario and Sonic, Pokemon D&P, Carnival Games, Guitar Hero III, Mario Party...
Actually, if you look at the top 50 for the week, there are 35 DS/Wii games. Only 9 DS/Wii games are <10 weeks old. 25 are >10 weeks old. 8 360 games, 5 are <10 weeks old. 7 PS2/3/P games, 5 are <10 weeks old. |
So sales make a game good.

I didn't realize they were still selling out. Is Nintendo trimming production on purpose?
Harvest Moon and Clone Wars? What?
I think people undersell the Wii by saying bundles or price drops are their big cards to play. There's some overlooked big points for Wii.
- Advantage with music games. They'll finally have all the band games, mostly ungimped, and street cred with ALL the audiences that play them.
- Advantage with liscensed games, including the Lego titles, High School Musical, and animated film games, which will have long legs and high holiday sales.
- A huge first party catalog with long legs. Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Fit and Mario Kart especially will drive hardware over the holiday season.
- Sequels to tons of Wii's third party hits: Game Party, MySims, Raving Rabbids, Sonic, Carnival Games. All together, Wii's third party exclusive sequels have more power than a Motorstorm 2 or Resistance 2, or even a Gears 2.
- More unknown entities. Wii has more potential breakout hits that we simply don't know the power of yet. I don't just mean things like De Blob or Mushroom Men, but also the odd games in Ubisoft's or EA's "casual" lineup. The corporate strategies may be busted, but the developers still turn out something worthwhile sometimes.
Also, Reask... No one is discussing quality of titles. The discussion is about who has the sales drivers for the holidays.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.

de Blob is the only interesting thing you mentioned.
