It feels like they overshipped - that 8.7m Wiis Nintendo shipped in late 2010 was based off of similar Q4 US numbers and they needed six months to fix it in the US (Europe was fine). 

The March 2012 shipment figures are far worse than the drop off in sales would normally indicate. They've had similar US figures and shipped substantially more than this in the past three March quarters.

The 8.7m Q for Nintendo was preceeded by Ninty's first ever 'low' Q of 1.9m, the following 3 after that holiday Q were nothing to do with stocking problems, more just Wii fizzling out.

360 isn't 'substantially' behind this Q vs past years. Like I already said, it's always been in a 1.3 - 1.7m range. Apart from last year which was because of shortages in Q4.

Add both previous Q4 + Q1's together and the're within 0.6m of each other. You're just desperate for the 360 to start faltering so Wii doesn't look so terrible!


None of what you says disqualifies what I said - the 2009 / 2010 / 2012 Q1 sales in the US were 1.05-1.1m. The previous quarters were all over 1.5m. European sales are either bad, or too many boxes were shipped in Q4. You still argue like every console Microsoft sells wins you a million dollars too :)  I kind of assumed you wouldn't care what I say since you successfully got me removed from writing on here, but it turns out you are just on here to troll which does make sense given everything you do and say.
