| TheSource said: I don't think Wii will have a peak week as high as in April to June 2008 but on average because Mario Kart and Wii Fit (and Smash in Europe) were huge but the Wii will probably be up a little bit anyway. Sales in Japan won't be down as much as the previous quarter either because of Monster Hunter G and Wii Sports Resort. Punch Out is going to be pretty big though. It sold over 3m units on the NES, and did well on SNES too. So Punch Out and the Sega/EA sports games utilizing motion plus in them should provide small spikes from the current level of Wii sales. Q2 could conceivably be down or flat though overall and in the west. Q3 looks like the big pre-Christmas quarter this year with Wii Sports Resort coming in July.

SSBB NA release was in march so that easily carried over into Q2 as well, Wii had very strong titles early in the year last year whereas the other 2 had capcom and some key JP stuff this year so it's not very surprising at all, E3 is going to be very interesting, with M+ coming out early June with games like Grand Slam Tennis and Tiger Woods, it will attract even more people, it's going to be a good year to come for Nintendo most likely imo.
