Forums - Sales - Nintendo's Black Friday week: 900k DS, 600k Wii

Maybe the fact that the largest electronics retailer in NA (BestBuy) had gobs of Wii's for sale at $169.99.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

awesome numbers. They did not mention the competition though.

Normally it is like: we outsold X and Y.

Yeah that's true, I'm V curious about 360 sales. Hope they topped at least 500k in US this week, anything less will be dissappointing imo.

Well there's no way Wii didn't outsell PS3....but maybe 360 outsold it...thats why they decided to say neither?

Because if they said "We outsold PS3"....not mentioning 360 would mean it outsold Wii......which is a slight "negative" in a press report



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I'm curious to see if MS and Sony give their numbers.

Nintendo usually don't flout other companies names in their reports, and I doubt they have access to their competitors sales figures right now.

I can only imagine the monster of sales Wii can achieve priced at $99 or $149.99. Nintendo was smart not to cut the price. The Wii still has enough milk left.

Hopefully Nintendo gets the message; more bundles, more colors, more sales.  PS3 and 360 have been doing this for years, it's about time Nintendo caught on...

They have access to Sony's, since Sony Corp is a SiRAS client.  Of course, I doubt Nintendo can release those figures or use them in PR...

Pretty sure they would. SIRAS (I think that's what it's called) tracks all consoles I believe. That's how they got these numbers:

Nintendo only knows the numbers for their systems. Normally when companies mention other companies in reports. It's because they get the data on all companies from NPD. That is not the case right now.
