| Rock_on_2008 said: Nintendo maintains high demand for Nintendo Wiis by having limited supply. Look at the variations in Wii sales in Americas from week to week. It is like a yo-yo. I guess that Nintendo Wii shipments arrive every two weeks. Production rates of Nintendo Wii manufacturing are increase up to 2.4 million Wiis manufactured per month and that amount is likely to increase. I guess it will be soon over 3 million Nintendo Wiis being mass produced every month. |
The last part of the first sentence is correct, at least in the Americas. Who knows? Perhaps on week one Wii shipments go off to Other, week two to the Americas. (Since 1/13, both places have sold about 2.4M Wiis.) Then in shipments to the retailers, twice or three as much goes out the door as the product arrives, as what the retailers receive the next week when the other part of the original shipment is released.
With Other, that first release to stores is enough to make it thru the first week, and carry over to the next, saying that for the most part, Other is sated at this rate. For now. But that first release doesn't carry over to the next sales week in the Americas, with the second week's release being woefully short. Showing how much more demand is there.
Torturing the numbers. Hear them scream.
