I didn't say that they would stop making games or consoles. I said that they are probably going to focus their energy on the next FY rather than hastily reacting within the current FY.

Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M, Wii Vitality, and hopefully Zelda Wii and Pikmin 3. Of course that's only what we've heard about.

They can't just not do anything, i don't think they are that stubborn. If sales were slowing down at a weekly rate of 10 percent, i would agree it ain't a biggie. But it's decreasing at rates of 30-50% and you have to wonder, isnt that too much?

However they haven't panicked yet, and the only thing they've done is release software. Their first move was Japan with the bundle, and that was when Japan was starting to get really tired. We're now seeing a very good lineup for the Wii these holidays, so for once it looks better in Japan than anywhere else.

In the West however, the Wii held up better, but it's starting to wither right now. The only major release this year was WSR, and to be honest if you own a handheld 1 or 2 games are enough, however consoles wise you need to constantly release games, and that hasn't benn happening.

All in all said, i just feel they're too confident about their projection, it's either worrisome if they were to believe Wii Fit+ and NSMB are enough, or it means they have something big. I think it's the latter, because lets not forget they had their biggest opening 3 months this year(January-March 2009), so they need to make up a lot or else 17 million looks like a possibility for the fiscal year, which would be a disaster. So saying Nintendo wouldn't do anything is probably naive, i think it's time to move, i think they've been holding out for too long and they could still do a lot! Bundles seem like a minimum right now, so we'll see

Well, whatever you think about the results of sequels to some of the best selling games of all time, including Wii Sports Resort (which has only had 5 weeks in the US and Europe and is showing very strong legs, the only place greater than that is in Japan and if you hadn't noticed, the Wii is selling much better than it was earlier this year there), the solution will only ever be software. Price cutting and bundling are effectively conceding that you can't maintain the Wii's value. The only way to truly increase the value (rather than reduce the price to match the fallen value) is to offer new must-have software, new reasons to want the Wii or to continue playing the Wii you already have.

^^Still time reduces value, cuz technology advances, people move on and so. It's good they're trying to do software, rly it is, but right now it doesn't seem enough for people unfortunately

The advancement of technology has nothing to do with it, there would need to be a replacement to the Wii that has become affordable for that to be a factor.

I'm half expecting someone to point out the PS3, let me pre-empt you. The PS3 does not offer the same values as the Wii, and there's been an affordable equivilant ever since the arcade came out.

Yes people move on, but the point of new software is that it's new, it brings new reasons to want an old product.

I expect Nintendo are definatly up to something. I refuse to believe that they expect software will help them to meet their projections. My guess, would be an upgrade of some kind. Nintendo love to modify their products and release add on's. For example the Super CD, DS Lite, DSi.

If Nintendo drops the price of the Wii or releases new colors, it will be because of sales and not anything MS or Sony does.

@Redinker
Is what i think. Dsi worked great for DS, and in a recent statement they said it is selling faster than Ds fat and DS Lite...but what can they add to Wii? The DVD player is not enough, and different colors are good but will they move millions? I don't think so. The Wii HD is a thing that can do worse things for them that good ones. One month away from the truth...i can't wait anymore!!

Metroid other m, Trauma team, The grinder, super mario galaxy 2 yes, no more heroes 2, red steel 2, and many more unannounced games, such as from sora and retro.  Nintendo wasn't at gamescom were they?  and thery have they're conference this October.

Sure they were at gamescom, I was there & at their booth. And it was 75% WSR, WF+ and M&S2.

Of the games you mentioned, most are from genres I'm not interested in (Grinder, No more heroes 2, Trauma Team). Played the Red Steel 2 demo, it's quite good. I'll give Other M a try although I didn't enjoy the Prime games, cause it looks more fun (I suck at FPS). But it won't be released before holiday 2010 either, right?

So... right now it looks like all I'm gonna buy is NSMB Wii in 2009, SMG2 (maybe Other M) in 2010 and Zelda in 2011-12. 

But I do admit that, at least partially, my personal taste is to blame. If I was interested in typical "mature" games, I'd have a lot more choices (Metroid Prime, Conduit and other High Voltage games, Resident Evil, ...).
