From my understanding the wii sales are down this in year in Japan. The wii sales have also lowered in NA over the past two months or something. And i'm not sure about Europe.

 

First sentence is wrong. YTD sales of Wii in Japan are up from 2.1 million in 2007 to 2.6 million in 2008.

Second sentence is true relative to sales earlier this year, but again the Wii has sold more year-over-year in NA in this two-month time period.

As for Europe, Wii has gone from YTD sales of 2.4 million in '07 to a staggering 5.4 million so far in 2008! Maybe there is something to that wacky currency value theory that some people use to explain continued shortages in NA...

My first sentence is right, you just had it backwards.

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 06th Jan 2007 to 01st Sep 2007:

Console    Wii
Japan
 
2,540,381

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 05th Jan 2008 to 06th Sep 2008:

Console    Wii
Japan
    
2,112,137

 

 

Whoops, my mistake.

I'm still blown away by those EU sales, though.
