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

Btw When I read Boomer this is what I think of. I am from Indiana

+1 because I'm a huge Pacer fan.  Too bad we suck right now though.

 

Anyways, I hope Nintendo can produce and ship enough units of Wii Fit Plus this month for it to have an epic comeback.  Just so Pachter can be owned once again.

sales of staple titles like Wii Fit with Balance Board and Wii Play were well below historical levels,


That tends to happen when a game has sold 20m+ and has been out for years.

Regarding Wii Fit, maybe Pachter doesn't know that Wii Fit Plus is out, that it has essentially everything Wii Fit had and like you say that Wii Fit is a 2 years old game which sold over 20 millions (it was also going to outsell the PS3 sales before the slim launch).

And Wii play sold 27m because 1) It was the only way to get a Wiimote in the first year 2) There were few games in the first months of Wii 3) Is still a good software for just 10$

Maybe Pachter doesn't even know Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus and New Super Mario Bros Wii all sold 10m before the end of the FY like Iwata said...and that NSMBW is the fastest selling game ever...



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

 

Maybe he's an imbecile.

No matter how healthy Nintendo is, the media will always find a way to spin things to fit their narrow agenda.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

""This is exemplified by Wii Play, which sold barely 50,000 units in February, and Wii Fit, which also came in well below what we had expected. Titles such as these are finally starting to fade, suggesting that the new Wii purchaser is more casual than ever""

more casual than ever..... because they don't buy wii fit....

"Next year", of course.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Wait so how did Wii Fit Plus do?

16th place, somewhere likely around 150K for the month. Along with other hardware dependent games, it was in short supply.
