Wii blamed for declining popularity of arcades
Over in the land of the Rising Sun, Namco Bandai and Sega complain that the Wii’s success has put a severe dent in their revenues from arcade machines. Now that kids have the Wii and DS, they’re saving all their pocket money to buy more games instead of frittering it away on the slots.
