1. I can't wait until Crazzyman comes back. We need more crazzyness in this site. In the meantime these threads aren't so bad. Now we need a MS one.

2. OMG a positive thread by tres for once :O I cry for the Wii in Japan ATM but in April it changes with MHG and Kizuna. Then soon/later after the Wii will have games like MH3, Muramasa, Arc Rise Fantasia, Samurai Warriors 3, Tales of Ten, FFCC: TCB (hopefully), Wii Sports Resort, and so on. Plus we don't know what Nintendo may have. I'd say it's a really good year for the Wii in Japan, but the big push hasn't started yet.


Maybe he is just being sarcastic.

year mario kart wii and SSBB got released so being down 200k isn't that bad especially since there has been no major games released this year

And you just wait to see next couple of weeks, with Wii Fit release things are going to look much worse.

Wii is DOWN 606,714 units from 2008!  =(


Note: The dates were changed in the data base, now both years include one less week of sales, so that's why it seems they have been adjusted down. In fact, Wii was adjusted up a little, like 30k this week, but still it was the worst week since 2007 and barely over 200k by a few hundred units.

So wait does that crazzyman guy troll anything not Sony related sheesh? Anyways I kinda have to agree that software wise this should be a better year as far as core gamers are concerned especially those that like japanese developed software. Fragile and Arc Rise Fantasia are 2 of my most wanted Wii games.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to Kinect &  PS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.
