people need to stop defending Wii sales. if it's bad, it's bad. i own nintendo stocks, so yeah, i'm disappointed it isn't selling in the 60,000s.

the only positive for the wii is that the wii has already won this generation, as sales have acculmulated enough for 3rd parties to make games for it, without even galaxy and wii fit coming out. but without knowing the rest of nintendo's 2008 release, wii sales is still somewhat of a uncertainty, and it might not win by as big of a margin as i had been hoping for.

and yes, trends in japan i believe are very much worth watching. on a related note, PSP selling 300k isn't a trend though. declining wii sales is--even taking into account the slow season.



the Wii is an epidemic.

This is over three days right? Impressive.

Im guessing it went something like 130k, 90k, 60k. I reckon it will pull off about 150k next week.

 Thank you for not writing off the Wii numbers.  I agree the Wii still has the best chance of winning this generation, but I don't think people should ignore these poor Wii Japan numbers.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Finally.. some actual competition to the DS! When was the last time PSP was on top of the charts?

As for the Wii numbers... I'm not exactly worried. Saying that I'm not completely worried makes me a lair. So yes I am a BIT worried... at least until SMG/Smash Bros release in Japan.

Right after them No More Heroes, Umbrella Chronicles and then.. Wii Fit.

Seriously does anyone think Sony can beat the Wii + Wii Fit craze that will engluf the world come 08?

It is a hardcore game through and through. You will get your ass kicked by bosses. You will be stumped by the sometimes complex, but never overbearing, exploration.

 Does anyone expect that stuff to sale to anyone other then the same crowd that supported Nntendo in the last gen.

A new game and the Wii still dropped?



Also screw Wii Fit. If I want to work out I can watch tv while I do it, not stand on a balance board. Me, my brother, and my two cousins are about the biggest game freaks you'll meet, have been since all of us were maybe 4, and we were watching live on G4 when they unveiled it. All of us were just like "..........who gives a shit about that? Where are the actual games?" Evidently, people like my sister, who never actually played a game by herself in her entire life despite being 4 years older than me, will buy it. She thinks it looks awesome.

 Yes, lots of people.

IE. Casual gamers. Personally I wouldnt be suprised if Wii Fit sold more than 10 Mil.
