Wii Sales Q1 and H1 by Year, Region and Total

I've included Q2 extrapolations in italics based on the current numbers. Here is the thing though - we know that at least some boosts are possible/likely from the following items/events/games in Q2 from the extrapolated rates:

- Golden Week (Japan)

- Monster Hunter G (Japan)

- Wii Sports Resort (Japan

- Motion Plus (Americas/Others)

- Punch Out (Americas/Others...Brett suggested it could do 5m worldwide in a conversation earlier)

- Desperation for women to get fit (EA Active/Wii Fit May-June boost)

- USA Tax Refunds (I know I get mine in May - guess where its going: games)

- End of school in Europe/Japan/Americas usually results in a minor boost in May/June for all systems

- Movie games - Xmen, Harry Potter, Ghostbusters etc - sometimes these games breakout (Americas)

- At a more macro-level the Pound-Yen exchange rate could recover allowing Nintendo to drop the Wii price in the UK to where it was before

- Tiger Woods could perform real well with Motion Plus
