Oh please, you're the person who said that Wii sales wouldn't improve for Black Friday. Now you're saying the same thing. Give me a break.

 

 I dont recall predicting that they wouldnt improve Black Friday.  I do recall predicting that maybe the sales for the week long period may not be driven by Black Friday itself.  I had never seen so many Wii's available all month as this year. The sale ads werent pushing Wii's either.  So again I think that last weeks NA sales were driven by Wii availability all week long.

As for this week and the rest of the Holiday Season I am not saying Wii's will be down in sales. I am thinking that sales in general may be down compared to your typical Holiday Season where sales usually climb up until Christmas.  We should get the first hint of this when the site gets updated numbers over the next few days.

 

Your said that Wii sales would not be more than 700-800k per week this season. You were dead wrong. You will be wrong this week. You will be wrong next week.

So I was off about 4K..Below is what I said.

 

Because of this I dont see the Wii going much higher than 700-800K per week (Still an incredible number). 

Again I am wondering how much this years holidays sales may be front loaded.  I am done with Christmas shopping this year and I know a great deal of other people done as well.   This economy is terrible and people may not have much cash left for the last couple of weeks except for huge discounts. The Wii wont be one of those huge discounted items. None of the consoles will be.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
