Forums - Sales Discussion - Nintendo hardware sales more than 2 million this week

New Japan data is up. 1.4m DS + 625k Wii is an incredible number. Could we see 3m for the week before Christmas?

Considering Nintendo doesn't seem to have any Wii's in storage, I'd say no. 2.5m maybe on the back of the DS.

Don't forget what Reggie said. The week before Christmas will have the biggest week ever for the Wii.

Doubtful, since it will entirely depend on the DS due to supply constraint.

 At the current rate the Wii will sell around 2.4 million in December out of a 1.8 million they could produce. seems like a bit of a stockpile to me so far. I know some of it could be clearing out the retail channel in Europe, but I find it unlikely they had that many sitting around. I am going to have to go with no though. I just don't see both systems spiking a half million going into the holidays.

ya pssibly as lon as they have enough wii's in stock. But it probally can with the great sucess of the DS

If the Wii continues to sell 625k per week for the next 3 weeks, it will have sold 18 million LTD. As FishyJoe said, Reggie said supply will be bigger before Christmas, so 18.5 million is very feasible too.

Will Wii dominate 2008 in Japan like most of 2007?

Edit: I mean, with the new "comeback" numbers in mind.
