This week -133,715 units =(((((((

Wii is DOWN 2,735,972 units from 2008!  =(

Note: Wii is back again to 20k levels in Japan. In the USA WSR effect looks like it has worn out already, since sales are back to the pre-WSR levels.
With September being an empty month for the Wii and quite packed in terms of price cuts and major games for the HD's, we can expect Wii to keep dropping until the Holidays. I don't think Wii Fit+ will move many more consoles than WSR did. As weeks go by, we can keep reinforcing the prediction that Wii will not reach the projections made by Nintendo, and won't be close.

September isn't an empty month, actually.

Guitar Hero 5.
Muramasa.
Beatles: Rock Band.
Dead Space: Extraction.
Spyborgs.

GH5 and Beatles RB will be really big hardware movers while the other 3 will help sustain some sales above our current low.
