Key Points
- Nintendo Long Sellers: Some Nintendo games in the top 30 for 2008 are from as far back as 2005 (MKDS and ACWW), and quite a few are from 2006 (Wii Sports, Wii Play, NSMB).
- Monster Hunter PSP: Monster Hunter is quite a hit on the PSP, and 2nd G's opening week of 823,265 outdid the original version's opening week of 746,313.
- Wii Ware To Establish New Distribution?: Wii Ware, launched on March 25 with a few titles, can become a big factor in the game market industry and may increase as time goes by. The PS3 and 360 also have their download services that can contribute to this download market.
