| Zucas said: Well I doubt he formulated that but I do see what YOU are saying. I do think we all understand that Wii was a relatively hot object for the longest time and eventually it was going to come down from that. I just don't think most people knew what that was going to be like. Not to mention, with relatively low reason to buy one this early in the year, I must say 340k is quite good in one month right now. I mean we are also coming in to some of the slowest months of the year so we need to realize that as well. People on forums love to overreact but I bet if they would just look up a little more stats and info before they speak they wouldn't be surprised. Wii came down from it's "gravy train" as yall crudely put it. Of course because it is no longer that sold out product. It had to come down eventually... nothing sells like that forever. People just need to realize when it comes down it was going to have these huge drops. Look at where it is after the drops by going over regular trends, games released, etc. Do that I'm sure people will be quite satisfied with 340,000 units of Wii sold in April along with great sales of Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii. |
There's nothing "crude" about the gravy train!
I like gravy and trains...=^(
You're quite right as well: it's not a particularly amazing thing that the Wii's sales isn't that they're starting to cool down months after their last killer app was released. If anything, it's amazing that it coasted this long without its own, new heavy hitters.
Of course, you and I both know that none of this will deter investors (and the "journalists") from decrying otherwise. Honestly, I kind of hope Nintendo's stock drops just a little bit more, so I can make a killing when I re-invest in them.
