American Numbers Up

Saw a Wii at my local Wal-Mart for the first time in awhile...Had multiple in stock. Maybe the demand issue isn't as constrained as some think? (not saying that it's not selling - just that it's not constrained as some argue).

Also, I *do* think that it's a pretty...Meh...Week for the Wii @ 750k. Why? It had well over a 100% increase vs. last November, but hasn't quite posted the same increases in NA this December.

Of course, VGC could just be off by a ton too. But if true...It's great for Nintendo, but not as great as November was/is.

 

 let me put it this way, last month I kept saying that I thought Wii was too low, Thesource kept making reason why these numbers were not low, then NDP came out and showed the Wii was undertracked by 400k. Like I said, unless Nintendo for some reason release a larger than proportion stock in nov, we are gonna see more major undertracking this month.

Also, walmart is the one place if you walk in at the right time you can find one, you see TRU and BB and other release them on Sunday, after they advertise it in there weekly brochure. So EVERYONE piles up there sunday morn. Wallyworld seems to put it on the floor when they get it, which means people who are looking might not be waiting for them when the stock arrives. Also it could be a sign of massive stock.

 

You also said the 360 was tracking too high.  It's easy to be right sometimes.  It's like throwing darts on a board.
