It seems people are now saying, it's "only Japanese support."
So... what's your point? A huge majority of my favorite console games come from Japan, so if the Wii can wrap up most/many of their games, I'm set! Have people suddenly forgot what the SNES library looked like?
I personally think HD consoles resemble the ol' PC's, it makes sense that it's getting a ton of western support. Still, it definitely won't hog all of it. If the Wii is flooded with great Japanese games, do you think the west will continue to ignore it? Nearly all the DS games worth playing are Japanese, and people seem to respect it a whole lot more than the Wii.

Western gaming has taken off and is actually becoming the dominant in the world right now see all the talk at the last TGS about how Japanese gaming is in trouble. The big names in gaming are Halo, Gears, Fallout 3, Uncharted, God of War, GTA. Its true I like niche Japanese rpgs, so probably I will have to get a Wii at some point for my niche games and some popular titles that I like like Mario Galaxy, DQ X, and Zelda.
I respect the DS more because of its Square games and Zelda, Mario, etc.
It's possible that if Sony bows out, then MS might consider it mission accomplished and do so as well, and all of the Western games could go back to being on the PC. In that case Nintendo would be at the top of console gaming, console specific western developers like Rare, Naughty Dog, Insomniac, Silicon Knights, and Sucker Punch would probably switch to developing games for Nintendo, and I would hope for a much more powerful console from Nintendo next time out, that there would be no censorship placed by Nintendo in their games in regards to what developers in all regions would choose to place in their games, and that they would make sure all the great games were available in all regions.
