Actually this is better than the Wii was doing last year or even the year before in Japan this same week
last year: 25,691 http://www.vgchartz.com/jweekly.php?date=39726&console=&maker=&boxartz=1#
2007: 20,935 http://www.vgchartz.com/jweekly.php?date=39362&console=&maker=&boxartz=1#
So this is actually quite good
For some reason Wii sales always do poorly at this time of year in Japan, my guess is that the market most likely to buy a Wii holds off until the holiday
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
