Finally the Wii was undertracked... I thought the Wii SSBB boost was too small here. It looks like SSBB sold better at the casual outlets than we anticipated here... WOW 720k for US ONLY.... around 800k for NA!!

Question: Do you trust NPD?

Pachter, the second-coming?

He was right??

What did he say that was right?

He guessed 700k Wii and 700k DS for March.

Just fucking wow.

Either NPD overtracked or VGC undertracked, possibly a combination of both. But woah. Just... wow.

Maybe I should start listening to Wacky Pachy again now that hes finally given up on the Wii being a fad.

So basically we already have Nintendo's spin before we have the actual numbers? Well, if you want to call it spin, cause with these kind of numbers there is no real need to spin anything.
