North American WiiWare titles to be spread out, only takes an hour for a Wii to be sold

In order to avoid any WiiWare deficiency periods, Nintendo will be releasing a few WiiWare titles per week instead of bombarding Wii owners with every title in their arsenal. Japan faced a drought of WiiWare titles for four weeks after nine launch titles were released. Another interesting tidbit is that, according to Reggie Fils-Aime, it only takes one for a Wii to be bought at retailers from the time the system hits the shelf to when the console is purchased.
