How do you know that they didn't stockpile for release after the start of the new year. It would make sense if they already had met their forecasts for the fiscal year.

 

And Mario Kart is only a week or so away in Europe and Japan and 3 weeks away in the US/Australia. So it should get a nice jump and if Nintendo can release enough consoles should nullify the GTA IV factor. I think Nintendo is looking at that as a test for how the PS3 is going to do in the future. How good will it look if they could sell more Wii's than Sony can sell PS3's in the week GTA IV is put on sale.


That's right, I forgot that some of the specific periods I mentioned are probably in the coming weeks anyway ;)

So I guess the conclusion is that we should see a nice increase in the coming weeks, especially in Europe and Japan.

EDIT: BTW, how is the supply vs demand situation there in Australia?

 

Yeah you still don't see many Wii's available and the store I work at is always out of the DS as well. Nintendo could probably increase the Wii to 2.8m a month and still be struggling to keep up with demand:) We are still waiting for SSBB though and it wont be out til late may I think. I want this game but short of importing a US Wii I will have too wait.
