...Released the Japanesse version of the Wii with Wii sports also.  Before you start flaming me let me explain:

I realize the Japanese sales have been huge and they will probably continue to be so for a long time to come.  However, the sales of Wii Sports will fall off as they have already been doing.  Eventually hardly anyone who buys a Wii in Japan will buy Wii Sports.  Wii Sports is an absolutly amazing game but the ratings have been moderate at best because reviewers don't "get it".  Also sports game simply don't sell to well in Japan.  Nintendo's strategy to attract non-gamers is heavily dependant on that game as it's very easy for anyone to get into.

There are other games that non-gamers can get into but Wii Sports is quite possibly the best non-gamer game ever.

That's weird because Japan loves real sports.  Especially baseball >.>.  They have a Sports Day every year, where all of the kids just play sports such as relay races and stuff.  Anyways, IDK they probably wouldn't like it, they'd probably just rather go outside and play the real thing.  IDK that's just what I think.

No clue.  They are obsessed with RPG's, Adventure games, and anything "strange".  The Japanese are rather different.

The Japanese culture is totally based off honor and duty.  All you need to do is look at console and video games to see how different they are from Westerners.  The entire country "latches" onto one game system each gen and they buy it exclusivly the enitre gen.  They also arn't near as interested in violent games as we are in the states.  For the most part the only games that sell really well over there are based off japanese animation.

Yeah, A LOT of games over there are based of Anime/Manga.  Just look at Eyeshield 21 and Bleach DS.  Man they even made a Keroro Gunso game >.>.

Rofl yes it was :P.  And we aren't talking about them like they're aliens. Cause I don't think I'm an alien....or am I?  Maybe I'm an alien from Keron (I bet 98/100 of you won't get that joke lol).
