Sales - Leo-j Loses Bet - View Post

Funny how Canada is quickly forgotten when it doesn't fit the fanboy model of sales.

 So true.

When he is banned, he can always blame canada  

Last week the Wii sold about 220k WW while being heavily supply constrained.

So it should sell at least 260k (assuming no boost for the other two regions) which means that Ioi would need to lower the Wii numbers by more than 200k to save Leo-J, which is about the threshold of VGChartzN - 1.1 * NPDUS

Leo, your only hope is for NA+Japan to not sell more than last week, which given the 60% boost in Others seems unlikely. 

Also, I wonder whether this boost is due to lingering holiday demand in Europe (people who couldn't buy one for Christmas buying it now or using hteir Christmas money to buy one) or if it is increasing because the post-holiday sales level is plateauing around 120k in Others (or possibly higher as some EU countries are still sold out). If the latter it would be very good news for the Wii as it would be higher than the respectable 80k it seemed to be at when not supply constrained last year.
