On the hardware front the PSP still remains king, while the PS3 dropped in sales significantly. This gives Nintendo a full 10,000 unit lead in combined unit sales of all their respective systems this week.

02- DS Lite 56,968
03 - Wii 41,024
04 - PS3 10,692

I know Nintendo is greedy but you have to balance out greed with smart business.
Quantity.
08. [WII] Wario Land: Shake It! (Nintendo) - 25,377 / New Entry
A big WTF at these numbers *sigh*.
Wasn't the Wario main series pretty obscure anyway? Add the 2d-ness on a home console and you got a game with little appeal.
Seriously? Wasn't the Wario main series pretty obscure anyway? Add the 2d-ness on a home console and you got a game with little appeal.
i seriously wonder why Wario isn't Wiiware game. No way I'll pay $50 for that, I know Nintendo is greedy but you have to balance out greed with smart business. Wario Land might sell a good 200K in America and same elsewhere. Where it could of sold allot better as an Wiiware game and maybe even a million in each area. I would pick up the game for 2000 Wiipoints, but not for $50. Quantity.
Look at 360 sales, its half of PS3 so its not as horrible as you might expect. I don't get why Japan HATES 360 with a passion it has so many games, I would be a dual console owner if I had extra money. If I can get into Brain Training and RPG's they can get into FPS and Action.

I'm honestly starting to believe you are really someone's dupe account created for the sole purpose of trolling threads, much to the lulz of the users and the owner.
I agree with your logic of games being priced according to their content and genre. However, you using Wario Land as an example is downright ridiculous.
Have you even seen gameplay videos? It features some really rock solid platforming, combined with inventive puzzles and classic collect-a thons of old. Not only that, the presentation is truly something, something unexpected in a Nintendo game.
Combine that with a solid 10 hour play through along with replay value and you have a solid package that's worth the 50 dollars. Not to mention that this is one of the few 2D platformers on a console, and a true, down to Earth Wario game.
Finally...IT'S A CORE GAME FROM NINTENDO! You know, the type of games Nintendo has been ignoring lately and making people sad in their pants?
With these facts under its belt how can you dismiss Wario Land?
Oh right, you dismissed Zack and Wiki for being smarter than you.
No surprise there...
Yeah, but like somebody else said...it's Wario. It doesn't really matter how good the game is, Wario is a minor character and his games have always been obscure gems, not blockbuster titles. He isn't even as well-known a character as Kirby and Yoshi.
The biggest WTF for me here is the PSP sales. Is Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G THAT GOOD? Hell, I'm a PSP fan, and even I don't know what the Japanese are buying that much PSP hardware for. It sure isn't big releases.
