@Starless,
I would have to agree. Nintendo has taken it easy for the first year of the Wii and 3rd party developers have been slow to bring something interesting to the Wii (though I personally have over a dozen titles).
I think we'll see a big second wind go into it this fall and into next year...Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros Brawl, Wii Fit, Mario Kart will show the strength of Nintendo's truly big guns.
For the big picture, this may also be a sign that Japan has become a handheld nation. The Wii will be the top console, but might not be able to approach the level of the DS (likely).
Japan has a history of favouring handheld titles...the console games only begin to appear at spots 10/11 in the Japanese all-time sales.

@Joe80,
I think its a lack of demand. It's been under 30K for a few weeks now, if I recall correctly. I think hardware in general is down in Japan (except PSP of course). Wii's getting Super Mario Galaxy at the start of November, so we can expect sales to bounce back up then. And Wii Fit is set for a 2007 release

Japan Hardware sales for last week. Wii sales continue to fall. PSP still #1. 360 sales spike due to Halo 3.
PSP - 102,809
Nintendo DS Lite - 72,895
Wii - 24,143
PLAYSTATION 3 - 13,105
PlayStation 2 - 12,980
Xbox 360 - 5,215
Game Boy micro - 229
Anyone know why Wii sales continue to drop in Japan? Think they're diverting stock to USA still?

Article: Sony To Cut Chip Manufacturing CostsSony is to partner with semiconductor manufacturer Infineon Technologies subsidiary Qimonda in a new Tokyo based venture meant to reduce development and manufacturing costs in its consumer electronics division, improving the profitability of the PS3 and other products. "This allows Sony to cut costs in chip development," quotes Bloomberg of analyst Naoki Fujiwara. "It is also good for Sony to expand [its number of chip suppliers]".

@Just_Ben,
Stringer has been selling off non core assets since he got there...this latest is nothing new. Sony still retains a 60% controlling interest.

@kspraydad,
Well if you sell some shares. If you sell shares of your own Financial Holdings everybody can see that Sony needs cash. The Financial Holdings are usually the part of companies making the most money in terms of earning/volume (e.g. Siemens, BMW even Toyota if I remember correctly). Selling parts of your "house bank" looks like you need cash, lots of it and fast. And as far as I read Sony needs cash, bank's didn't want to give. So it is a desperate move that very well could pay out if the Gaming/Television department of Sony invest it right.
