Iwata presented a look at game sales in Japan, America, and Europe. One commonality among the big Wii titles was Ubisoft's Just Dance and especially , which continued kicking ass in sales through March, topping the chart in the US and remaining in the top 10 in most of Europe. Iwata pointed out the blockbuster sales for JD2 that outsold the first game in half the time, and by extension, other dancing games like Ubisoft's Michael Jackson the Experience and Majesco's also became bonafide hits.

Granted, these games aren't exactly must-haves to the more discerning gamers, but it looks good at an investor briefing, and their performance is nothing if not fascinating in these declining months of the Wii. And if you're wondering why Iwata likes making an example out of Just Dance 2, well, Nintendo themselves will be publishing it in Japan later this year.

Iwata was unsurprisingly coy about any further details on Nintendo's next console, announced (rather, pre-announced) just a couple of days prior. The company line so far is that Nintendo "will offer something new [in the market of] home game systems." Our translation: Wait for E3.
