nintendo have increased production to huge levels and while i dont doubt they can sell them all (and a shitload more) this month and probably january too (all the people who couldnt get one for xmas), surely they cant sell all that many in the slower months of next year ( they were only selling a million or so for most of this year) so the question is what will they do with all the extra machines?

thoughts please

Bad premise, frankie_baby.

Demand is going to INCREASE next year.

Yes, INCREASE.

I explain all this in this thread I titled called "To those who don't understand my 60 million in 2008 prediction"

I left out one game which would aid in the points I made in here as a poster pointed out called Monster Hunter 3 but Wii Fit & Super Smash Bros. Brawl alone will drive Wii demand to insatiable levels. The rest just makes it more insane on top of it.

Nintendo's 1.8 million is woefully not enough to satisfy demand as Nintendo knows now. They will do even more increases next year as they work out production and supplier situations. Yes, it will be once again unprecedented. But you better get used to that word throughout the life of this system because that's the kind of effect it will have throughout its existence. UNPRECEDENTED.

2008 will see Nintendo getting a better but not irongripped handle on matching demand resulting in a year where sales look absolutely insane making this insane 2007 look like child's play. Nintendo will once again NOT meet demand because demand will be exponentially growing as they try to meet it. The games for next year along with all of the established library will push sales through the ROOF.

You gotta remember something. Wiis have hardly EVER BEEN SEEN in most stores around the world except in some portions of Europe. And despite this it has sold more than any console has in its first year or its first holiday season to holiday season EVER. With more Wiis seen in cases more sales will be made which will just keep this message board in utter shock.

I really fear for this board as Nintendo's ridiculous success will tamper with some people's sanity. Nintendo 2007 is nothing compared to Nintendo 2008. Be ready 'cause it's gonna be a doozy, brother.
