So it won't move 112.000 units every day? Strange. |
Well, check out as many European retailers as you can and tell me how many have Wiis in stock. Go ahead, I did it with online retailers and I didn't find any in UK, France, Germany or Portugal (and I didn't check Amazon only). The Wii is obviously supply constrained during this week, they must be restocking the retail channel as fast as they can. |
Well, in Austria, Poland, Czech, Slovakia and Hungary there are plenty of Wii in stock, but that's how it always was in this regions. Here is Nintendo what is Xbox in Japan. | Can't speak for the other countries, but the latest Gfk numbers for Austria (November 2007) I have seen had the 360 at 47k LTD, the Wii at 38k LTD and the PS3 at about 25k LTD if I remember correctly. These numbers suggest that Nintendo is definitely much more popular in Austria than the Xbox/360 in Japan. |
The PS 3 performance before price cut was bad, even many hardcore fans can't afford it. Now the situation is better, but the price is still high. I am still talking about this five regions.
You can talk about numbers from gfk (November 2007), but it's like saying Xbox 360 outsold PS3 in Japan and then PS3 outsold Wii. You must live in this regions and see for yourself how people perceive the console market. You are from Austria, so if you look around (Czech, Slovakia, Hungary aren't that far from you) you will see that people mostly talk about PlayStation as the home console.
