Wii 2010 numbers for the week ending January 16th:
| Weekly | Total |
| 351,619 | 829,751 |
This is strong sales! I think. Look, it is strong enough for me to talk about. Last week was adjusted down by about ~2,000 or so. Not a big amount, but worth noting!
Wii 2009 numbers for the week ending January 17th:
| Weekly | Total |
| 344,420 | 727,721 |
Wii is UP 102,030 (14.02%) over the same time in 2009. =)))))))
Wii 2008 numbers for the week ending January 12th:
| Weekly | Total |
| 210,019 | 612,511 |
Wii is UP 217,240 (35.47%) over the same time in 2008. =)))))))
All right, this week's numbers are pretty good. The gap with 2009 YoY fell significantly for the week, while it skyrocketed against the same week in 2008.
What these numebrs mean, of course, it not immediately clear, not with as little data as we have. I expect the 2010 numbers to start lagging behind 2009 numbers starting next week and maybe for the rest of Q1, and we won't see it start to make up the difference until Q2. Everyone remembers how massive 2009's Q1 was.
It's up significantly over 2008 so far, but 2008 was badly supply constrained through Q1. I don't know if Wii is at all supply constrained right now (it probably isn't but somebody could feel free to ask Brett), but if it is then 2010's yearly spread should look a lot like 2008. I don't expect that to hold true the whole way through, of course - 2008's Q2 was absolutely titanic - but we'll see how it goes in the long run. If nothing else, 2010 will probably have a stronger Q4.
That's all for this week! I'll try to keep track of adjustments when I can.
