Not talking about retailers. After the increase of production of Wiis and its doubled, and the increase of consumer sales in holiday season is 50 M possible?

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

As that goes until March 31st, it's certainly possible.



I think its possible even at the month of january I think many people still buy the wii because they dont want to get on with the holiday rush and also games that will come in February and March

especially HOTD Overkill and Madworld and of course Sonic see what I did there?

I feel so left out!

OT: Doubt it. Q1 is a very slow time of year.

It's actually almost certain, think about it.... it will have likely passed 46 million with the week ending 3rd January, or at least be very close to it.

Last year it sold over 4 million in the first 3 months of the year... and 4 million is all it needs to reach 50 million from 46 million.

of course this year it should see higher sales than last year, so I think it likely it will surpass 51 million by the end of the fiscal year.



I think Nintendo will end up shipping around 53 million Wiis at the end of March 2009, with a sellthrough between 51 and 52 million.



Of course, It will sell about 52 million at the end of the fiscal year. Next week Wii should be at 45 M.



It's probable.

Have you seen the Wiis sales of 2007 compared to 2008 in January, february and March?

And Ninty says it that that Wiis will sell 50 million in its fiscal year. So much for Wii's market share amirite?
