I have no clue..

 

Because PKMN titles are developed by a non-Nintendo-owned studio. The studio may be second-party, but they still aren't owned by Nintendo.

Pokemon IS owned by Nintendo.

It's kind of funny. The Wii has almost 50% market share- they may lose this year in Japan and it still wouldn't hurt the "N". If the PS3 sells well so what...

All I hope is that in the Wii they finally find a fix for Nintendo's 3rd party woes.

^^ Just 20k??? More like 100k!

 

Only if bundled, plus most everyone already have a wii in anticipation of this game.   I think 20k bumps sounds about right.

 

20k-30k sounds right if not bundled. If it's bundled (which it really should and I'm expecting it to) it will raise much higher.

Most everyone doesn't own a Wii for this game...there's like what, almost 4 mil MH fans on PSP? I doubt they all own Wiis. There's still a ton of people that can buy one.

You could say everyone owns a PS3 for FF XIII but the demo made it boost to 57k.

Well even thought it might give it a 20-30 k bump first week, i'm sure it will give the Wii probabely a strong month- month and a half on its own. Add in a few games after that and wii levels might actually return to 35-40 k levels

Monster Hunter 3 and Wii Sports Resort should make for a monster summer for Wii.

 

Though regarding this, its surprising that in Japan, where 3rd party support for Wii is strongest, 3rd parties sell the least, whereas in the West, where 3rd party support is weaker, their sales account for more than half.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

1/3 of Pokemon is owned by Nintendo.  One third is owned by the Pokemon Company and the other third is owned by Creatures Inc.

 



Pixel Art can be fun.

I thought they had wholly bought out Creatures, or did they do that to Game Freak?

 

One of them they now own completely.

Ha! No they dont. Like PS3 some people are waiting for FFXIII. People are waiting on Wii for DQX and Monster Hunter 3.

DQ will give it the biggest bump of all.

All I have to say is: AT LAST!

About time Nintendo notice the lack of third-party support for Wii. But it seems he's focused only on the japanese market and ignoring the rest of the world.

I hope after this statement, Nintendo attract more big-budget third-party support for Wii.

Where did I say Pokemon wasn't? I said the DEVELOPERS aren't owned by Nintendo.

Monster Hunter 3 will sell about 2 million in Japan alone IMO. I would it will boost Wii hardware by about 80-100k not in one week but for at least 3-4 weeks. Zelda title on the Wii will boost sales of the Wii drastically.
