It's probably because Japan is on the brink of recession and everyone is in a sombre mood.
Nintendo couldn't have picked a worse day to launch....

As long as there's no American football games realised at launch, I'll be buying every launch game. :D

3 games at launch is rather pathetic however they have all got pretty impressive reviews!!
There will be a lot more than that for the UK launch, almost spoilt for choice really - Some say there could be as many as 20-25 with the most incredible being that of Star Wars Rogue Leader!!
Still I am glad to have pre ordered my Cube!!

I have been to both Akihabara and Shinjuku, and there are literally HUNDREDS of shops to buy games from. Imagine a whole town of games shops, so it's not surprising cues were short, as there were so many shops to choose from.

We are lucky. We get all the Japanese games on release as well as all the first ones from the developers over here, unlike japan.

There's guaranteed to be around ten launch titles for the US launch including third party games.
Nintendo stated why they only released three games (something to do with the Japanese only liking a small choice and then let the games trickle out every few days e.g Pikmin will be released in two days and SSB:M next week).

+ With the Japanese market possibly approaching a recession and consumer confidence low it wasn't the best time to launch in Japan.

You can gurantee more than 3 games on launch day, im expecting at least 10 maybe more. One of those games should be Rogue Leader and what can I say that game looks simply amazing.
