    It's about time they start hitting a saturation point. Maybe this will force them to start making more AAA titles.

    This doesn't surprise me much. They can only sell so many consoles [Core are you listening to me, Nintendo products are WAAAAAAAY overpriced in SA] after all, so sales were bound to dip at some stage. As Toxin said, there are not that many must-have titles [that I know of] [probably a good thing for my wallet] out there anyway.

    I don;t thing Nintendo will be overly concerned about the dip. They have, I am sure, made a mint off of Wii and are probably working on their next console and Mario/Zelda/Kirby/Starfox/Metroid games. ;-)

    So buy an Xbox (or PS3) and no longer have this issue.

    I'd have to sell my Wii and its games to raise money for that, and I don't want to. Besides, my family enjoys playing Wii games.

    The company I work for no longer gives us a mid-year incentive, so I can no longer count on getting a healthy R6000-R7000 cash injection to put towards toys like another console or a PC upgrade.

    Have to do it the hard way by saving up a lttle every month like most people do.

    Can't argue with logic like that
