I've been saying this for the last couple of weeks, but isn't this Wii's lowest week ever?


Wait for another few weeks for Wii's lowest point, every week it keeps going down and down unfortunately.



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

lol you seem to say this every week.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I've found a lower week:

Week ending 26th September 2009: Wii - 148,626 (Week before pricecut)


So far Wii has only been below 150k 3 times, 1 was the week before pricecut and the other 2 are the current week and last week.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

This week is really crazy. It could be said that given the season, Wii being steady WoW should be considered good, but Wii had a big SW release bundled with controllers in Japan, and one could have expected it to be up at least a little. Instead, the same game's PS3 version outsold the Wii one almost 5:1, and at most less than 1/5 of the PS3 units could have been bundled with consoles, given the HW numbers, so this is worrying, a 3rd game that's big on competing consoles, despite the smaller user base too, gets meh sales on Wii and meh effects on HW sales, actually Wii this week is down in Japan more than in Others, and its WW sales were saved by American ones. Can Nintendo count only on 1st party SW to support and boost sales? Even PSP was boosted by SW, c'mon!

It will reach its lowest point no doubt about that, I think we could see a couple weeks below 140k, there's not much coming up until the holidays so it will be tough.

People forget it's $199 now with bundles, and a new color, while last year it was $249 without any of that and was selling MUCH better than it is now..

 

That's not a good sign. Nintendo needs another price cut or something that could get people going crazy about the wii again, i mean yes it's selling well, but it's very down YTD.
