I´ll just quote myself now, look:

 

1,800,000 / 30 = 60,000 units a day which means 420,000 units a week. Now Nintendo has to stockpile for the next christmas season already...


Ha ha ha! OMG That's so funny. That is a new one. Would you mind if I quoted you in my sig? That Nintendo is stockpiling units for December instead of releasing units when their most anticipated game of this year comes out. You have to be joking right? Was that serious? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish that I knew how to do the laughing emoticon, cause this is flippin hilarious!


I just did the math, D.

What do you think? Will Nintendo save its units for the biggest time of the year or will they over-ship Japan because of the Brawl release? I tell you, even though production last year was 1.8 million a month there wasn´t a single week the Wii sold above 300k units before November.

You may think that´s funny but Nintendo is a business company. If they do not plan to increase production they will stockpile every single unit they do not need. What do you think why hardware sales have been so small last february? Because people didn´t buy Wii´s?

Jeez, think before you post and laugh about other people. This is not a fanboy war, it is business. I did some math and was actually surprised myself that everything was making sense.

Tell me why last years Wii numbers have been far less than last weeks and this weeks numbers. Maybe the Wii isn´t as supply constraint in Japan than in the US and those 100k is just as much demand as Nintendo expected? They would not like to undership the brawl release but they´d never overship it.

 

Edit: Please do not always think of others as fanboys. This post was not made to show how great Nintendo is or that the Wii is still selling out everywhere. I am looking for explanations for the numbers.
