| Griffin said: The Nintendo wii sales this week are nothing great, Nintendo will ship 1.8mil wiis this month, its just a matter of when they will sell. Nintendo wii's are also not selling out in most of Europe and in Japan, so over the next 2months the level of wii's in NA will grow. |
Are you kidding me? Nintendo is going to sell over 400,000 Wiis this week, in February (one of the slowest retail months of the year), with ZERO new releases of any note this week. That's absolutely amazing. Only the DS sells at that rate, and we all know how unbelievable DS sales have been over the past two years. I mean, that's practically holiday-level sales for the other consoles. The Wii is doing that on a completely ordinary sales week in February! How can you possibly say that those sales are "nothing great?"
Fun comparison: the PS3 sold 356k units last year worldwide the week of Black Friday (Nov. 24). Wii sales this week will be at least 50k higher than that...
End of 2008 totals: Wii 42m, 360 24m, PS3 18.5m (made Jan. 4, 2008)
