Responding to the part @ me Yes, I am familiar with the concept, I was just saying that you can end up with some really wierd numbers when mixing the two data sets if you are not careful. Responding to the part @TheSource The Q1 financial report recently said 16.5m shipped was their target for the fiscal year. Now once you take out the 3.43m shipped in Q1 we are left with 13.07. Now it is very likely that we will see around 3.5m shipped during Q2 and Q4, with the rest being shipped during the holidays (aka Q3). So in essence....
Something a lot of people might miss is that it is very possible for retail chains to be stockpiling even if Nintendo is not. Their incentive is HUGE, they want to draw in customers to shop for X-mas gifts at their stores. Edit: PS - Nintendo's projections for the fiscal year are probably the biggest proof of holiday stockpiling out there. They need big X-mas numbers to meet their goal. |
But When do you think Retailers have started or are going to start stockpiling.
The only Reason I can belive that they are stock piling is if they are doing it to have alot more bundles in november and they can say that they are sold out of unbundled Wii's forcing people to buy the 450 dollar Wii bundles that gives consumers like 3 games they don't even want and like $10 savings total.
Either way i gotta get a Wii before metriod comes out and these things get even harder to find.
