We had some very major adjustments this week, ladies! But they were not, to the best of my knowledge, for the Wii. My job remains as easy as ever!
Wii 2010 numbers for the week ending January 23rd:
Weekly | Total |
325,311 |
1,155,062 |
Wii numbers continue to be strong, though I remember 2009 being bigger. Reports suggest that we may be having some hardware shortages at this time!?
Wii 2009 numbers for the week ending January 24th:
Weekly | Total |
438,060 | 1,165,781 |
Wii is DOWN 10,719 (0.92%) over the same time in 2009. =(((((((((((( That was fast!
Wii 2008 numbers for the week ending January 19th:
Weekly | Total |
266,709 | 879,220 |
Wii is UP 275,842 (31.37%) over the same time in 2008. =)))))))))))))
All right, what we're seeing here is a sales pattern that's actually fairly similar to 2008 rather than 2009. Given that the Wii has three enormous evergreen titles to be carrying it on its back right now, I'm tempted to blame hardware shortages, but that may be a bit premature. Anybody want to ask Brett what he thinks?
