I think what we were claiming that DKCR is not going to be some great hardware mover. I still believe that. I believe that Wii sold for 3 reasons this Holiday. Normal holiday boost, extra software included and all the special sales prices. In NA nearly every week you could get a Wii for at least $20 below the $199 price. Believe only the week after BF were there no deals to be had. This culminated with the weekend at Walmart with a $75 gift card with a Wii purchase. I know there were deals and new special bundles in EMEAA as well. Last year vs this year Japan 2009 November and December: 980K Wii sales EMEAA 2009 November and December: 4,383,980 NA 2009 November and December: 5,249,030 DKCR is a good game and it sold very well, but the evidence says that people did not say "I am getting a Wii for DKCR." |
I wasn't talking about you specifically when I was referring to "nameless posters", but the argument was definitely NOT centered around hardware moving, it was about DKCR and GT5 sales themselves. I don't think anyone has really claimed DKCR itself was moving Wii hardware in Japan, probably because it's clearly not and wasn't ever really expected to.
