They've said they're planning on publishing one game per month and I expect them to stick to that. I think only Zelda is left to come from their main teams.

I am sure that Nintendo will publish their one game a month, but I expect quite a few of those games to be along the lines of Endless Ocean. Good editions to the Wii library, but not the sort of titles that will do anything for hardware sales.

If the Wii's Successor is truly releasing in Q4 2012, I would imagine that the main dev teams will be starting on those projects by now.

When the hell did PSP become a serious competitor in the handheld market? Props to Sony.

I look forward to NGP's release.

No, there's also Wii Play Motion and Rhythm Heaven Wii.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I wasn't thinking it would be late 2012.

No, there's also Wii Play Motion and Rhythm Heaven Wii.

True, not sure if WPM is in house though.

Several outside teams are contributing, but it's still an EAD effort from what I understand. So like Steel Diver.

For Wii right now releasing something is better than releasing nothing.

Since Wii Play: Motion and Rhythm Heaven will be Nintendo's big summer titles I wonder if they'll try to make Just Dance 2 one of Wii's promoted fall or winter titles or give it a secondary treatment like Goldeneye.

Golden Week Part 2.

08. / 19. [WII] Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo) {2008.04.10}

LOL! What's the reason behind this?

Mario Kart games don't need any reason to resurface the Top 10. Mario Kart DS also pulled that off several times.

08. / 19. [WII] Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo) {2008.04.10}

LOL! What's the reason behind this?

I think it could be that everything is way down this week. Either that or that's an amazing hold for El Shaddai.

Japan doesn't care about online, again, it seems.

 

[Sage00]

Now <100k til PSP YTD > 3DS YTD. Could happen in the next 5-6 weeks.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

3DS went up. Settling to a baseline or post golden week after-glow?

Wait and see.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Wii 11,520

Pandora's hype is building, go!

 

[test_account]

Low/average numbers in general. If i didnt know better, i would thought that this was a normal week. I thought Golden Week would have bigger sales numbers than this, but i guess that one of the reason for this is because Golden Week started last week, so it was divided over 2 weeks.

Not in easily imageable form yet, but through 9 weeks of Famitsu software info I've got 3DS at 0.95M and PS3 at 0.55. Considering the above image, looks like a tie ratio of just over 1 for each.

Ok, i see, thanks for the info

[JoshuaJSlone]

How much was added for Joker 2 Professional? This is one of the best performing enhanced versions I can think of, though of course MHP2 to MHP2G takes the cake.

 

[Sage00]

Big discrepancy for El Shaddai between MC and Famitsu. I suppose that's to be expected when only 5k separates the top 5 and the top 20.

 

[StickSoldier]

Surprised to see the 3DS actually go up in sales this week, seeing as the PSP fell 20k and all.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Stupid comparison of the day.

Must be another supply constrained for PSP but not as much several weeks ago it had.
