I always found puzzling that the wii has been selling like crazy for 2+ years and just for a couple of months of NOT THAT LOW sales and suddenly "the trend is going downwards"? what about america and europe? does that sales doesn't count anymore?

Really that's pathetic.

 

US and European sales have been falling as well. The Wii marketshare has been falling everywhere.

 

 

No they don't

Look at the past 4-5 weeks.

 

You do realise that Super Smash Bros Brawl and Mario Kart Wii launched in that 4-5 week time frame last year, don't you?

When you factor that out, you also need to understand that Spring is the slowest sales period of the year.

Follow that up with many huge games for the rest of the year in contrast with very few last year and I cannot fathom how anyone can predict fewer sales this year than last year or that this 4-5 week trend is somehow permanent.
