That's a huge drop, is there a Wii shortage in US?

lol! C'mon Star Scream, no stealth trolling. 

Last year, Wii had a huge March and April due to SSBB and Mario Kart Wii releasing.  SSBB sold 2.7 million copies in March while Mario Kart WW sold 1.1 million units in April - both moved a shit ton of hardware.  April 2008 saw the benefit of residual SSBB sales and Mario Kart Wii boost.  April 2009 had nothing like that.

But you know this, stop playing dumb!   You always do that.

 

In april 08 wii sales were just based on supply, even though it sold over 700k that month there still wasn't any wiis on the shelf.
