Will we see a sharp drop in Wii sales similar to last year?

January stock gets cannibalized by December of course. They're going to sell 3 million in the US in December alone.

Of course they're not going to have a huge stock for January. Even if they did, they'd be stupid to ship a ton of units to retailers in January, they'd just clog retail channels, especailly with the US economy in the crapper.

That's not creating "artificial shortages", that's just proper inventory management.

You simply don't ship a lot of product in January, it's not done. Even the PSOne/PS2 atback in the day would not have a ton of inventory in January.

Did you just make the exact same post (differently frased) twice?

 

 

Doesn't make it any less true.

They're going to ship probably in the range of 3 million in December.

Obviously January is going to be sub 1 million, probably 500k tops. Of course there's going to be a huge drop off.

Anyone who's followed game sales for any reasonable period of time knows there's always a huge drop off from December to January for virtually every game machine, not sure why you guys expect Nintendo to be different.

 

 500K tops, for a month, for the Wii? And you've followed game sales for a reasonable perioud of time?

Wii sold ~ 1250K in 4 weeks January last year.

500K is laughable. Nothing else.

 

And also, we don't expect anything else. Have you read the replies? We're wondering how low they will be. Saying "they will be low" doesn't answer the question.
