It's not terrible for Wii just extremely overtracked here. Im still surprised it managed to be number 1 for december even after being last in NPD september and without a pricecut.

TheWon said: 1.9 million is great of Microsoft, but not great for their industry taking over plans. With all the money put into selling Kinect. In the 2 months of it launch you only get 3.2 million system sold. Nintendo sold almost 4 million Wiis in Dec alone last year on the power of a game. Now with just games they have won the month. Perception and Facts are too different things. The Perception of Microsoft and Kinect is that they are turning the tide. The facts are they haven't gain any ground. At least here in the US gaming Market!
Also my broke my jaw laughing at GT5 numbers in the US. Once again Sony's Savor doesn't deliver! Maybe Heroes on the Move will do it! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Because it didn't get close to the all-time record set last year? O_O |
No, we knew that wasn't happening, but it would've been nice if it got over 3mil or at least close.
I didn't live up to my own expectations.

Yeah... Below 3mil = disappointment to me. |
Below 4m=disappointment to me, actually.
Doesn't really matter though. A forced price cut next year won't hurt - they can afford it. That should help sales pick up.

Three of the top five best-selling games of December play exclusively on Nintendo systems. These include Just Dance 2 from Ubisoft at No. 1, Donkey Kong Country Returns ™ : from Nintendo at No. 3 and Disney Epic Mickey from Disney Interactive Studios at No. 4. For all of 2010, 13 of the top 25 best-selling games play on Nintendo systems. This includes two of the top five; five of the top 10; and nine of the top 15.
My predictions for end of 2010 will be accurate then.
Buying in 2015: Captain toad: treasure tracker,
mario maker
new 3ds
yoshi woolly world
zelda U
majora's mask 3d

The Wii is quite overtracked, I really think had MS had enough consoles, it would have outsold it. I am surprised at the PS3 numbers, i expected less than a million. |
Yeah I agree, it doesn't reallly matter that much though. They all did well but it's a much more even playing field now. It's a bit scary having 2 consoles do 1.3 and another doing 3.8 .. I like these sales more.
Meh Wii numbers :/
At least Epic Mickey did great (or dk was overtracked :/ )
