Well here I'll do the math. I'll show you how much was sold in each month worldwide and then how many shipments were left over starting from August:
August- 1.4 million sold
Left Over- 400k
September- 900k
Left Over- 900k
October- 1.3 million
Left Over- 500k
November- 2 million
Left Over= -200k
Total Sold in Past 4 months- 5.6
Total Produced- 7.2 million
Units Left Over- 1.6 million
Someone has been stockpiling haha. That leaves 1.6 million to go with the already 1.8 million in December. So 3.4 million should be how much Wii sales in December. And that's only if that this stockpiling by either Nintendo or the retailers started in August. I only went back as far as August, as I wasn't sure when the 1.8 million a month product started. So so far in December Wii has sold 1.4 million of that 3.4 million. Leaving 2 milliom more for the next 2 weeks. And understanding that next week's sales will probably be the last of major shipments in America for Wii, it may not be that far off.
But once again that's assuming nothing else has been stockpiled before August. could be even more available for December then first thought. But looking through sales its apparent there has been some stockpiling, espeically during September.
