Then Nintendo must be stockpiling the remainder of production. That is the only plausible explanation.

I have no problem believing Brawl sold out. If anything, they should have shipped more copies for the initial run (biggest release for the Wii to date). I was expecting close to 1.2m first week sales for Brawl if they had prepared for a simultaneous WW release.


Sales on Wiis have been in line with Nintendo's latest reported production amounts. It's reasonable to assume that the Wii is by and large sold out worldwide, and they haven't had a chance to stockpile after the holidays.


Latest production rate: 1.8m/month. True or false.

Current rate of sales for Jan 2008 as tracked by VGC: 1,287,869. True or false.

1.8m > 1,287,869. True.

 

Explain.


 Shortage of parts is possible, production glitches, not enough stock to ship out because of the air shipping earlier, so many possible reasons



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
