Japan and Wii "Unhealthy"? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?

According to this, Japan is growing tired of the motion controls. I understand that part, but how can the Wii be unhealthy in Japan? The place where ALL the Great Wii and other system games come out? It really is mindboggling. I mean, they get Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Fatal Frame 4, Golden Bonds, Monster Hunter (ALL OF THEM), and every other great game that we US, EU and other countries never see. And they are "UNSATISFIED"? I wish we could get the games they get. Thoughts?

Well, I'm thinking that by unhealthy, they mean that it's not selling at the pace it was before. But really, how long did they think the Wii would be flying off shelves? At some point, most people that want one will already have it and sales will trickle.

It's good, however, that it seems Nintendo is aware that they (or other companies) can't keep pushing crap with motion controls forever. So maybe, we'll get some better games out of this.

i dont know how many times i have to say this, its only 1 months sales,

iwata is over his head if he thinks wii is unhealthy in japan the latest vgchart sales show ps3 slow down in fact it only sold 1000 more ,

add to the fact that wii has 9 million plus sales where ps3 only has just 3million , ,

in japan alone , and dont say ds is dying because last month ds sold more then psp ,

and has been since launch ,

one wii gets punchout among other key nintendo games, japan will get back to normal ,

the reason wii didnt sell in march is either a because whom ever wanted one has already got one ,and b-no key software got out in march so wait , remember wii out sold ps3 like 3 to 1 in the us , and has out sold ps3 else where as well so japan will not help sony,

it could have if it happened all accross the globe even then , wii is considered a success,

it compared to snes n64 and gc, sold more units ,and is still going heck it may pass nes records in my book that speaks louder then words, if sony wanted to carch up to wii, it have to take 3 yrs and by that time im sure wii 2 would be out so it be to late so no wii does not need saving lol

I saw this coming when Japan ignored No More Heroes.

Um, No More Heroes had nothing to do with this.

Actually, what I'm trying to say is that Japan usually ignores all the good Wii games (besides Mario and Zelda) so it's not surprising that the Wii is losing sales in Japan.

Japan is way more infatuated with the DS than the Wii, for some reason.

Motion controls are fun and all, but most of the games that are truly good are the ones that don't utilize motion controls (or if they do, it's just rarely shaking the remote or something). I think Japan is realizing this in an period where developers are still waggling and swinging wiimotes around. Maybe Japan will get nintendo to think back inside the box......maybe.

Let us pray the rest of the world will wise up.
