TheSource said: Nintendo's internal tracking is proven to be quite good once again. Week one in this graph is the week ending Jan 3 2009, the last December 2008 NPD week. The next three are for January NPD, and the last week had yet to happen, but Nintendo apparently performed well in this week too: [graph removed] Week 2 is 70,000 Week 3 is 140,000 Week 4 is 260,000 So week 5 of 2009, the fourth week of January NPD was likely about 210,000, which makes sense given week two was shortages week, and week three and week four on average come out to about 200,000. |
Does that mean that we should expect to see an NPD result of roughly 800,000 for Februrary, now that the Wii shortages are over? Going to be interesting to keep an eye on this!
End of 2008 totals: Wii 42m, 360 24m, PS3 18.5m (made Jan. 4, 2008)
