Less than what it did the same week last year.

So the price cut week will do less than 330K?  Even with Wii Fit plus coming out?  Let me put it in perspective, when WSR launched in the US a few weeks back Wii did 337K WW, and you're saying that the Price cut won't do that?  Seriously?

Yep, seriously. But I didn't see you jump when many gave lower numbers before me.

Wii Fit+ won't have that much of an effect, and then why would price cut make sales explode? PS3 sales exploded because of the new model mainly and all the anticipation there was behind the pricecut. I don't think many were anticipating a Wii pricecut and even then they won't rush instantly to the stores because the Wii is not supply constrained anymore and this is not a temporary boost, but a definitive one.

So how much do you expect?


 I have no Idea how much it will sell, I'm curious as to how well it will sell, it could sell under 200K or over 500K, I have no Idea.

But the reason I targeted your comment, is because of your earlier statements, you said that WSR wasn't a hardware mover, yet it carried Wii sales over 330K, so when you say that Wii won't do 330K the week of the price cuts, it kind of throws out your argument that WSR isn't a hardware mover, since it would have moved more than the price cut, which puts your Wii Fit plus argument into doubt, which is why I targeted your comment, since it didn't make sense based on your earlier comments.
