What? Either, Reggie's gone nuts or he's misquoted. He says they produce 2.4M each month, and in 3 months that is 10M. Odd.

I'll post a short summary of the interesting things here.

 

- 50% of Wii players are women, 50% of DS players are women. 20% for the other consoles.

- Most of Nintendo's games have over 50 hours of play time.

- 70% of the dollar growth in the U.S is from Wii/DS (please tell me what this means, I don't get it).

- 3 out of 10 stores that are shipped Wii Fit are likely to have it. About 3M copies of Wii Fit sold by NoA. This fits with VGC, as 250K may be on their way to shelves / stored for christmas or other (remember, Nintendo gives shipped).

- Retailers want new shipments several years after initial release of game. This hasn't happened in the past generations before Wii/DS.

-  50% larger supply this holiday than usual. This means either 3.6M/month or slightly less, as usual isn't 2.4M.

 

I believe he means 70% of the growth in the industry.

As in if say.... the Videogame industry made 100 dollars last year... and this year they made 200 dollars.

70 of that extra 100 would be created due to the Wii/DS.

Basically the Wii and DS are way outgrowing everything else in terms of pure revenue.

What's crazy is when he states that only 3 in 10 stores have wii fit.
