Honestly, I do not know what you are going on about. Europeans are claiming the Wii demand is met in Europe. The fact that you can't get one in the US means absolutely nothing in terms of what they are saying.

I also see the stockpiling claim was false, unless it is going to switch over to stockpiling for Kart and GTA IV all of a sudden.

I know the console is still doing great, but seriously, enough with the excuses. Point is that the Wii's best game "possibly" has just been released and sales are about 80k+ less than expected in the US. I would say Brawl week in terms of hardware (seeing as we did have the BS stockpiling for Brawl excuses going all week) is indeed a failure.

Well, sir, in what sense do you use the word "failure."

 

If you mean its a failure in that there are still Wii's setting on the shelves, then you are wrong, obviously.

 

If you mean Nintendo under-deliverd supply of the Wii console, then you are most likely correct, assuming you are a cool-aid drinker and expected 300,000 units of hardware shipped this week.

 

If you are an unbiased observer, who doesn't live in a fantasty world, outselling your competitors 2 to 1, and selling 1.4 million units of software from a single game in 1 week, is actually quite phenominal either way you look at it, wouldn't you agree.

 

Define the failure as you mean it and perhaps we will understand better.
