Best NPD months:

1.) Wii Dec 2009: 3.81 million
2.) DS Dec 2009: 3.31 million
3.) DS Dec 2008: 3.04 million
4.) PS2 Dec 2002: 2.73 million
5.) DS Dec 2010: 2.5X million
6.) DS Dec 2007: 2.47 million
7.) Wii Dec 2010: 2.36 million
8.) GBA Dec 2003: 2.26 million
9.) Wii Dec 2008: 2.15 million
10.) GBA Dec 2002: 2.14 million
11.) GBA Dec 2004: 2.06 million
12.) Wii Nov 2008: 2.04 million

So this was Wii's 2nd best December ever.  Yet some people are still with their finger on the panic button.

As far as potential sales are concerned it's down massively. As the Source points out Wii had the potential to have a truly mind-shattering December in 2008, the only thing that held it back was supply. This time Nintendo doesn't have that excuse. Assuming they meet their sales projection shipments for the quarter will probably come in at around 10 million which probably would have allowed for another 3 million December.
