It's lower than GameCube launch alligned. It's not doing ok.

The original Wii was past 6 million at this point I believe and probably would've been in the 7-9 million range if Nintendo could've actually met demand.

Its doing ok considering the lack of games, high price for a nintendo console and lack of advertising. Things will Iimprove drastically from Aug to the end of the year.

That’s what I was thinking too - there aren't any killer apps or games yet.

So many people don't even know there is a new Wii.  I think some new sparkling HD Games might be the ticket.  Something to really show customers why they need to upgrade their SD Wii.

But the problem is has been the only new game console out this gen so far. 

(Personally it bugs me that so many of the Mii's lack arms!  Ok, forgivable on the Wii cause it didn't have the power, but the new HD one should have friggin' arms!)
