| lightbleeder said: Nintendo doesn't need to increase Wii production numbers, it needs to relocate the Wiis produced. Reggie Fils-Aime said Nintendo isn't stockpiling, so why Nintendo doesn't sell 1.8million Wiis a month? easy, it is just selling out in the USA, if you go to Europe or Japan you can find Wiis on the wild. If Nintendo could reduce the units shipped to Europe and Japan and increase the units shipped in the USA the problem would be solved. |
Yeah, right now, but will that hold true until the end of the year? We are getting reports that even in Europe stock is starting to sell out, and in Japan sales are on the uptick the past few weeks, will those consoles last until the end of the year? (Also which month did Nintendo ramp up to 1.8 million a month, august, july, september?)
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)
