Wow, you are so wrong its kinda funny. Brawl hype here is like as big as Halo's was. Nintendo has to be stockpiling Wii's for Brawl's launch.

 


Okay. If that's what everyone wants to say.

This was the exact excuse used a few weeks ago when numbers weren't that great in different regions and it was "Nintendo is diverting to Japan for Brawl release", and "nintendo is stockpiling", and when the numbers came (and disappointed), everyone wanted to take back what they said. Now I'm not saying it's gonna happen again, but if it does, prepare to eat crow.


I would actually go out on a limb and say they aren't stockpiling any more than they have been the last few weeks. If you start at the beginning of the year, Wii sales have increased from 200k WW to over 400k WW, so I think they are stockpiling, but each week they are sending out similar numbers, it's just those shipments don't always get to where they are going fast enough, as this is the case, unless Japan has a huge spike, this will be the first week that the Wii decreases WW.
