7 million Wii units sold in Japan
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
These days, it’s not too surprising when another accomplishment is reported. Nonetheless, it is worth mentioning that the Wii managed to reach yet another milestone in Japan. According to Enterbrain, the Wii has sold over seven million Wii units in the country. Well, 7,024,239 to be exact. This is definitely something to be proud of if you work for Nintendo, but at the same time, Wii sales are beginning to slow down a bit. However, with upcoming titles such as Wii Sports Resort, it isn’t likely that sales will drop dramatically.

Monolith discusses Disaster sequel, Baten Kaitos, more
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 3 Comments
Monolith Soft revealed a plethora of details regarding future games. As could be surmised based on sales charts, Disaster: Day of Crisis has not sold very well at all. Nintendo producer Hitoshi Yamagami has stated that the game is “performing lower than expected.”
Still, even with less than stellar sales, Keiichi Ono, Monolith Soft director, isn’t ready to rule out a sequel, even if it were to appear on the DS. “…there were so many wonderful options [in the game]. We would like to see the possibility for them, if we have chance to develop the sequel…[The team] can consider [a DS version] if we have many requests.”
Last but not least, it was confirmed yet again today that Monolith Soft is indeed working on more titles for the Wii and surprisingly, the team is “willing to start developing Baten Kaitos.”
