Japan - Wii hate gaming

GN 1.0 / 2.0

Japan continues to boggle my mind with their lack of interest in Wii software. Take a look at these horrendous first-day sales for these new software launches.

Chocobo Mystery Dungeon: 30k (30% sell-through)
NiGHTS: 7k (10% sell-through)
SC Legend: 5k (10% sell-through)
WE LOVE GOLF: 4k (10% sell-through)
Shikigami no Shiro III Wii: 500

A Square-Enix title is having trouble…a sequel to one that did fantastically well years ago. NiGHTS is not impressing either. I didn’t expect much from Soul Calibur, but We Love Golf is surprising as well. Japan loves Hot Shots, but I guess they aren’t willing to go for another company’s take. The best part about all this Shikigami no Shiro III Wii sold 500 on the Wii…and 1500 on the 360.

If you hear a noise while reading this post, that would be my teeth grinding.
