Wii sales are dramatically slowing down? No problem. Nintendo has got the answer!

I'm sure this will be a day-one purchase for Steer.

As of OCtober 24th - if Wii sales are up 5% from last week, and is even outselling the Nintendo DS/DSi combo...

Also - I do not have many day one purchases, and they tend to be very slect wiiware titles or EAD releases such as Sports Resort or New Super Mario Wii...

Finally - I am not interested in a game for young girls, but at the same time I am neither 'offended' or 'bothered' by it, nor would I read anything into as far as the overall llibrary of a game system. For example, PETZ on 360 - that would not register a reaction such as this from myself, as it has for you.

But whatever floats your boat?

“Wii has stalled. We were unable to continually release strong software, and let the nice mood cool. We were unable to show a new game to become ‘the next thing.’ In the game market, once you’ve lost the momentum, it takes time to recover. With the price drop, sales returned to a certain level, but they just did not reach the level of last year around this time.”

- President and CEO of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata


I think he may know a little bit more than you, Steer.

Lol, nice try - he is comparing Wii from being 'just incredible' now to 'off the hook' last year

That fine though, have it your way, wii has stalled, 360 and PS3 therefore must be 'still-born' - add 'em both together they cannot equal the 'stalled' console...

Also - Nintendo did not even make the game you linked - do you even read your own sources???

Its actually a very creative idea, I give 505 studios props. Creative use of the wimote.
