Forums - Sales Discussion - Does DS demand now meet supply in Japan?

gentian on 14 May 2007
Rumours suggest that the DS Lite is becoming possible to buy in Japan, i.e. it's on the shelf and you don't have to queue for it.

Very interesting.  Does that mean the current Japanese demand is 250,000 per week as for the last two weeks?


It would be nice if they made this many Wii's.

I just cant believe it is that high, have you stopped to realize how high that is?? we are talking a week, thats 1 million a month!!!

At some point... Supply WILL outship demand... And for DS that means producing 2.5 mil a month... ! Which i think is good! Cause it sells like 0.6-1.1 mil a month in Japan And like 0.8-1.7 mil a month in America And the rest goes to Europe... Coming to the conclusion that it'a monster!

 

Edit: And guy with the weird name (sorry, but i can't spell it): If you were to track sales you'd know DS sells like 120-250k a week in Japan... And with Pokémon out in America it even sold 0.5 mil in 1 WEEK... And thats 2.5 years after launch for Christ' sake!

call me one month from now and let me know if they still have any supply left. I think they pushed everything they had for golden week.



 

 

Buy it and pray to the gods of Sigs: Naznatips!
