The first 3 are tru but the last 2 aren't. Wii can be found easily in Japan now so the whole low sales = stockpiling for US / holidays theory is null. Truth is Wii doesn't have the momentum it once used to have. Until quality titles come out expect these kind of numbers. |
Actually, being that the sales are low means they really can divert to US/stockpile. If they were sending 75k a week and it was all selling out, now that there's still 45k available they'd only have to refill the 30k and the 45k can be stockpiled for holidays. Additionally, since there's a fair amount in reserve in case of a surge of sales, shipments to Japan don't need to be as large, meaning some of the Wiis coming off the production line can be diverted elsewhere.
It's more that diverting/stockpiling is an effect of the low sales than a cause.
