Nintendo conceded that sales of some recent titles, such as Wii Music, had not taken off but said that: “We hope to line up strong software to support hardware sales in the second half of the year.”
That sales of Wii hardware now depend on game launches suggests that the novelty of its controller, which measures motions by the player rather than button presses, has worn off, at least in Japan

Interesting item from article :
"Koya Tabata of Credit Suisse said in a recent note to clients that the cost to Nintendo of producing a Wii has fallen by 45 per cent since its launch. That would give Nintendo the scope to cut the price of the console if needed to stimulate sales."
I am sure Nintendo would do different color first, and price drop later (as last resort).
