I'm very suspicious of the Wii number given that December had five weeks and that November had four.

2.04m/4 weeks in Nov = 510k/week

2.15m/5 weeks in Dec = 430k/week

 

Does anyone really believe Nintendo would ship more in November weeks than in December weeks? If they just sent a massive allocation for November and hoped it would hold and sent a comparable allocation for December its a pretty terrible tactical decision.

I'm usually not a sceptical man, but I'm with you here. I honestly can't believe these numbers are real Especially not considering VGC was very close to the rest of the consoles.

 

Yeah.  Something is just not right about this.

 

Simple. Either a shortage of Wii's, they overtracked last month, or the demand is down. Take your pick.

 

Over 2 million Wiis sold and a small increase from last month and you want to throw out "demand is down".  Yeah, you wish, Aj!  But yeah, either there was a shortage or NPD overtracked in November.  It'll all come out in the financial report wash.
