About Hardware:
No, the push for hardware wasn't huge. Okay, we get it, but the same applies to the Wii.
Normally, the Wii sales average 150-220k per week on a normal week. How many were sold last week? 75k. How many were sold this week? 400k. What happened? Nintendo shipped more, and stores stocked up Wii's for the launch of MK Wii. MK Wii did push Wii, but the bigger push was actually being able to walk into stores and find them. For the first time since launch, I could stroll into a store, and see a Wii on a store shelf. I was able to do it at my two Best Buys, and three Gamestops. FIRST TIME EVAR. It's amazing what Nintendo can sell if they supply us with consoles, that cannot be denied.
