Don`t make excuses.
We talk about SMG and SMS only.
SMG reached FAST SMS numbers, because Wii sold faster then GC did, because it`s 5 mln. vs 4 mln., because Almost ALL mariofans ALREADY bought Wii in Japan.
SMG droped sales so FAST, because all Mariofans bought Wii, AND even if Wii will reach 10 mln. in Japan, SMG won`t reach 2 mln., because game bought mostly ONLY by mariofans.
And for now, this works only in Japan, in USA and Europe situation is better, but for how long, unknown.
800k Japan mariofans.
1.2 mln. Europe mariofans.
3.5 mln. USA mariofans.
All other SMG buyers are casual gamers.
Japan SMG sales reached it`s potential.
Soon europe and usa will reach it too.
How long wii is going to sell, time will show, But after Wii will reach 6 mln. in Japan, 7 mln. in europe and 14 mln. in USA, it can easy stop selling. Time will tell.
For now 80-85% of nintendo fans already bought the wii, high sales of games in first week and fast drops only proves that.
