Already posted in the other thread.

but im still puzzled at those Wii numbers...

why are you puzzled by the Wii numbers?

Such a big increase.

Wasn't expecting it at all. Even the Japan Preview has it at 100-110k.

check December numbers on the Wii, while doing better this year than last year, still beind 2007. It should do 200k next year. What's amazing is those 76k on the mighty PS3, selling better than ever.

It's not far behind 2007.  And honestly, PS3's not all that far ahead of 2007 either...

 

Wii Decembers (1st 2 weeks)

• 2007 278k
• 2008 148k
• 2009 243k

PS3 Decembers (1st 2 weeks)

• 2007 104k
• 2008 56k
• 2009 126k

Huh? Wii is 12.6% behind 2007 and PS3 is 17.5% ahead of 2007 according to those numbers. We obviously have different views about "not far", to me means within 5%. You could argue within 10% is not far, but close to 20% (for PS3) isn't "not far". Improving sales by 17.5% in the peak sales period of the year is a very good result.
