Up YOY? But last weeks sales last year was well over 1.5 million, and this year its set to be down 20-25% with Japan added in worldwide. I'm sorry, but its quite heavily down YOY as it has been for the last months.

Ugh, yeah! Americas let me down.

Well, I hate to be one of those "UNDETRAKEDZ!!" losers, but after last month, there's always NPD, :P. And Nintendo shipments. So there's still hope...

For now, though, looks like I messed up big time.

Wii went up in Americas after BF last year because relative to it's pre-BF sales BF week was mediocre at best and there were almost no good deals for the Wii. Whereas IIRC the week after BF last year there were some pretty amazing deals, I think a $100 giftcard at Walmart.

That's true, but I didn't quite expect Wii to fall this much. Still clinging on to the NPD ray of hope though, :D.

Black Friday last year was also shortly following the release of NSMBWii and the first Wii price cut, this probably made a huge difference in BF sales last year compared to this year! All in all, given that the Wii has been outsold worldwide several weeks this winter/fall and consistently outsold in Japan this year it is having a stellar holiday season!

The DS though, the DS is what shocks me. I truly wonder how high it could climb if no plans on the 3DS were forthcoming! Jeez!
