they need better software the wii is fizzling out in japan. I believe if they launch some strong first party games based on their old franchises, then things will turn around.

No chance in hell (although I suspect I may have said that already when this thread was first created)

I'm going to say maybe. Right now it is 1.5m back, and only been on the market for a little over 2 years. In various markets we have seen Nintendo products doing good, and then just completely taking off (ds in europe for example http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=DS&reg1=Total+Other&cons2=&reg2=------&cons3=&reg3=------&weeks=156 )

However, for the Wii in japan to take off, Nintendo needs to figure out something ASAP. Right now it looks like a no, but who knows what will happen.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

It could the question is how long it will be on the market for and how much impact will the big software have in Japan: MH3 and DQ X. And the Future Nintendo big franchises.

Plus Wii is yet to see any sort of bundles, price-cuts , colors in Japan. It wont be easy but i think Wii can do it lest say it has 35% chance :P

I think it is set to make 20 million, but it has to pick up a bit software wise, I think the Japanese move to handhelds along with the rise of the X360 and the likelyhood that PS3 will pass the GC by 1-2 million will ensure it stopps short of wherever the PS2 stops.
