Nintendo's Satoru Iwata has said that in Japan, the Wii situation "cannot be defined as healthy" because it hits the "below 50k unit sales" mark each week, despite the price cut and the 100k sales spike over the summer.

"It is our urgent mission to recover the momentum of Wii during the holidays utilizing Nintendo's strength."
