Glad you ask. 2008 Jan - 1st week of June. Wii sold = ~7,889,378 2008 total sold = ~23,840,570 2009 Jan - 1st week of June. Wii sold = ~7,312,910
So, the Wii is only down by ~500,000 units as compared to last year. This is surprising since Japan has been so massively slow thus far. Now consider you have Monster Hunter 3 and a new Wii color coming to Japan soon, Wii Fit Plus, New Super Mario Bros, and a good amount of solid 3rd party efforts vs crappy wagglefied PS2 ports. I'd say it is very much possible for Wii to *ship* >26m this year. |

Do you see a significant problem with them reaching their sales target?
@ Soriku: Mario games are most popular with Nintendo fans who likely already have the console, unless you think for some reason a 2nd Mario game will have a huge impact? and Wii Fit+ is essentially an expansion to the same title, its nothing new. The only think potentially new is Wii Sports resort, but we will have to wait n see on that one.
Tease.
