Add me to the list of those surprised that the numbers aren't a bit bigger. I expected a bigger jump over last week for all the consoles. Maybe a larger percentage of people jumped on the consoles early over Black Friday than in the past?

 

 So you expected the Wii to sell more than 750,000 this week?

Well yes, actually.  They sold the same number last year, and supply is supposed to be much better this year.  I thought it would be higher by 50-100k.  But like I said, maybe some of those huge numbers from November/Black Friday ate up some of that extra already?

 

 

 

 

 Last year this week they sold about 165K, not 750K, it was the week later that they sold 750K

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
