Mario Tennis too. :)
Yes, you're right -- they have much more extensive lineups. But those are most all third-party exclusives... Nintendo has more first/second-party titles than either of them in that half of the year, going by those lists, but they just don't have the third party support...
So don't blame Nintendo's developers.
Oh yeah, and I bet plenty of those games will be delayed... given that the main reason games come out in January is because they were delayed out of December...
Oh yeah, sales specifics for the month of November.
