July will be down less, maybe 100k. Hard to tell past that but I really don't see Wii Sport Resorts boosting the Wii sales by 100% for several months ( which is what is needed to get back to 2008 level). June will be down by another 300k probably ( doesn't seem like EA Sport Active or Punch Out had a crazy effect on Wii hardware sales). So by the end of the first half of the year the Wii will be down 450k.
A price cut might help for sure, but seeing Nintendo financials prevision it's doubtfull in 2009 and I'm not sure the Wii is actually viewed as an expensive purchase right now so hard to say how much it would boost sales, definitly not 100%...
PS : The situation in the fiscal year(April 2009-March 2010) is even worse. So far in NA alone sales are down 750k for 2 months. Worldwide they are down 1.7 millions ( VGchartz has 1.6 millions and I added 100k for the difference with NPD in May). In June sales should be down another 500k worldwide ( Wii sold 1.5 million units in June 2008) to bring the YoY gap around 2.2 millions... |
I don't want to get banned so I won't insult you, but give me a FUCKING break. Did you read what I posted or are you just trying to piss me off? Just go away.
When did I ever say I expected Wii sales to match 2008 numbers? Trolling for the sake of it is what you do best, I'm never going to reply to one of your posts again.
