So wait, I still want to know how the hell the Wii is selling so well in Japan right now. What is currently moving consoles out the door?

 

The Wii games with legs (>40 weeks and still in the charts).  From last week:

1
Wii Fit
Nintendo 71 11,974 3,331,962
5
Mario Kart Wii
Nintendo 52 6,290 2,200,594
7
Wii Sports
Nintendo 123 4,773 3,520,928
15
Super Mario Stadium: Family Baseball
Nintendo 42 2,081 264,029
16
Hajimete no Wii
Nintendo 123 2,027 2,714,542
19
Mario Party 8
Nintendo 89 1,539 1,452,072

These same games is what is pushing the Wii in NA and Europe. If even they ceased production on all Wii games, Wii Sports/Play/Fit would keep the Wii above both PS3 and 360.

That is just awful.

 

 

Perhaps,  but at least the Wii has a library with a few titles that are wanted such as Wii Sports, Mario Kart, and Wii Fit.  Look at the PS3 and 360 and see how low the sales are for games >50 weeks.  That is what is truely awful and unhealthy.
