Interesting. Kirby sold less than the Preview led us to believe. Regardless, 92k is pretty good.

Kirby games usually leg it out, but if this doesn't manage to do so past 360k, it will be the worst selling Kirby in Japan EVER!

Wii overall is in piss-poor shape. I didn't expect a large boost from Kirby...but at least 2k or something, not sales to go down. Holidays will definitely be interesting. Nintendo did a great job of completely destroying all the momentum they had with the Wii.


Oh come on :/ Nintendo singlehandedly sold 10 million wiis in japan, with no 3rd aprty support. I'd say nintendo did amazingly well to stay in this position. 3rd parties have screwed the wii up though. We should admit though, that if the wii had HD graphics, it wouldnt have aged this bad at all.

Btw I remember when i predicted that kirby would flop and made a thread about it... i wish i was wrong :(

Wii shoudl sell at least 12M LT in Japan before wii 2 comes in 2012.


DQX my friend. DQX

I hope they release that soon ,although I don't see it till 2014.

I think I remember Nintendogamer expecting 40K Wii sold this week *must not laugh*

No but the Japan Preview was misleading for everybody's predictions. I just think people should be more careful with what they predict :/

And I still believe Kirby won't reach 1 million in Japan. Just like DKCR.

I'm expecting more supporters, this time.

Like PS2.....oh wait.  Just kidding lol.  I just REALLY wish we had the ability to make charts still because I really wanna see if Wii is still trending above PS2 at this point in its life.


PS2 eventually did fall, but it dominated so much that it didn't matter. The Wii "might" be able to outsell the PS2, but it will NEVER reach the epicness of the PS2 library.

huh I see wii topping no more than 95M LT, no way will Wii top 150M.

95 is WAYYYYYY too less

The wii isn't suddenly going to just sell 20 Million for the remainder of its whole life



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Wii will sell about 18M this year (83M), and it should sell about 9M next year, then when wii succesor is out it will just crawl past 3M in 2012.

I soon changed it to 17K but even that was still far too high it seemed.

Wiis at like 8.8M so far for the year, to reach 18M it would need about 9M more. Not relating to your 9M for next year.

EDIT: Currently at 8.97M not 8.8M.
