I believe it was some massive currency adjustment Nintendo had been delaying.

Sony takes the currency adjustment over time in small amounts, whereas Nintendo kept putting it off until they had to bite the bullet all at once.

Has to do with the strong yen, which wreaks havoc on Japanese companies profits.

Wait a minute, just noticed.

VGC had the Wii selling more than it actually shipped for the quarter?

Nope VGC never had Wii over 75.90M. It's not even over 75M yet.

Yes but that's possible if retailers were reducing amount of Wii on shelves. And that's quite probable scenario with possible new bundle with Motion integrated incoming as well as overall drop in interest in Wii.

I mean the shipment for the quarter. Not lifetime. It says it right in my first post (Bolded and underlined).

Wii overtracked here? But the difference is so small.

My results for Nintendo.

When you look at what The Source expected from Nintendo, it's a pretty big difference. Could possibly be overtracked by about 500k...?

Well its clear there was a lot of Wii's left over from the last shipment ninty made in the previous quarter.....so Wii's left over from last quarter got sold in this quarter too..meaning retailers wanted less Wii's in, lowering shipments.

As LTD sales are ok compared to VGC figures thats the only explanation

MS numbers coming soon...

By the way, PS3 better be overtracked tomorrow or else being retarded is a good thing, uh?
