Pachter's response:

Analysts were taken by surprise by how well the $249 console has performed in a flagging economy. “Two million? You sure? This is mind-boggling,” said Michael Pachter, a top industry analyst for Wedbush Morgan Securities. “At least Nintendo is meeting demand.”

Pachter says it’s because people are now choosing a Wii over a latte. “There’s a solid middle class that’s going to make substitutions to buy games. Now it’s buy a Wii and don’t eat out for a month, or don’t take that ski trip,” he said. “Or cut out Starbucks.”

Pachter is a silly, silly man. This isn't meeting demand. Not quite.

Seriously though is this the highest November in the US ever?

 

Yes. Pachter is indeed silly. He makes it sound like them buying a wii is a bad thing.

And I echo your question. Is this the highest november ever? I'm guessing it is...
