No wonder they can't put down the price of any of their consoles!

Seeing as a lot of revenue was generated by Wii-Fit, Nintendo should be thankful that us Europeans and Americans are a bunch of fatties.

Trouble is nearly everyone has got a Wii/DS so who are they going to sell to?

Just curious, any reason why it fell so sharply in japan while the rest of the world is growing?

Probably because Japan is a small country and the rest of the world... well you get the idea. They have peaked in Japan, perhaps they think they can sell more with the DSi, get users to replace currently owned units for new ones.

Yeah but the size doesn't really matter with percentages right?

Anyone who says that "nearly everyone" has got a Wii or DS clearly underestimates just how many people there are in Japan. There are millions upon millions of people who do not own one. So there are still buyers out there.

I think only sellers is more accurate.

If sales continue to sag in Japan after the motion plus release, Nintendo can just start releasing Wii's in different colours - It's been a while since I've seen them.

I wish they would use even 1% of those profits to develop some decent new games for their long term fans.
