| TheSource said: - 600k BF week. Wii in Dec tends to match BF week sales. - Epic Mickey push is pretty much entirely in December. - Walmart has Wii at $150 for at least the Dec 5-11 week (i.e. Wii and 2 games for $150) - With 3.8m Wiis sold in the USA in Dec 2009 (by NPD), 3m in Dec 2010 would still amount to a large (20% ) drop off. - Wii also ended up nearly quintupling (near 5x) its Oct sales level in Nov sales in the USA, rather than doing the usual x2 to x3, and so a larger than normal x2 increase, ala last year, is likely for Nov to December. Last year was 520k - 1260k (x2.5)- 3810k (x3) for Wii by NPD, this year looks more like 232k - 1050k (x4.5) -3100k (x3). |
Wait, what? Doesn't VGC have Wii for December at a little over 3.8m for Americas? Does US really become such a huge proportion of sales in the holidays?
