Forums - Nintendo - Pachter: Wii supply constraints far from the only thing Nintendo has to worry about

He said Heavy Rain would fail... hard. He was very wrong, his still wrong and we should have more threads about what Jesse Divnich say's, he at least has common sense.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

“Nintendo’s overall performance was well below our expectations, with software down over 30% and Wii hardware units down almost 50%. Nintendo had warned us that February would be a difficult month due to supply constraints, but we believe that the problem runs deeper than that, as sales of staple titles like Wii Fit with Balance Board and Wii Play were well below historical levels,” he explained.

So a game's sales will DECREASE as it gets OLDER, after the holiday season?

Really? I thought they increased in February from December... /sarcasm.

I think if I wiped my ass with printer paper and mailed it to the writer of this article, it would make more sense than Patcher's "analysist" -_-




Wow what an idiot. Wii Play is a title that is directly tied to sales of new consoles due to its being an additional controller + a game, so whenever less Wii consoles are sold, less Wii Play being sold is no surprise.
As to Wii Fit + balance board, first I believe I read in several places that was supply constrained as well, and second, I believe a lot of people who would be potential buyers for that would be people who bought a Wii just for that initially (so they would buy it together with the console), so if less consoles are sold, again less Wii Fits will be sold.
The other Evergreen titles sold relatively well because they are much more "second wave" games, games often bought after someone already got themselves the console.
Pachter is truly an idiot (or maybe. just like IGN, he is trolling to get hits...).

Nah, that would be too logical for him... He's already been beaten by BruceOnGames. Anyone remember that douche?

No one knows why, but everyone does know that Wii Fit is supply constrained as well as the console itself. No exclusive until SMG2? What about MH3 and RS2? Ah, what am I saying, Wii is DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!



Nothing on the horizon? Try Red Steel 2, Monster Hunter Tri, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid Other M...



ya gotta love how one low month = doom & gloom even though the Wii just recently destroyed the PS2's single month sale record by a million units.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

"More casual than ever". What a great line. I guess you can get more casual than a Wii owner, because those casual Wii owners buy almost as many games as the "hardcore" PS3 owners.

Anyway, this is great. I'm gonna sit back and take this all in. It'll make March NPD all the sweeter.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
