If those figures are right Nintendo's supply is crap though.

VGCharts was pretty far off.

PS2 and GBA, two truly-successful consoles. The both sold more than 40 million units in USA, and still bother the nex-gen platforms. Game Boy Advance kicked PS3's ass. PS2 outsold Wii thanks to God of War 2.

Well, the generation 2000-2006 isn't dead yet... I'm surprised.



It sounds good when you say "For the People", but what you really want is... a stronger army than the Knights, and the evil power to control the people.

Why do they do that for? The only thing I can think of is the april/production thing.

They've also gotta make DSL and GBASP. 
I also doubt Nintendo expected this much demand, worldwide.
The production outlet must already be at its limits.
They could also be holding units for later dates (such as Golden Week in JPN).
