Wow look at those low prices, I reckon Wii will top 1M alone in america's in one of the 2 weeks leading up to christmas, and Jacob do you think wii will be closer to 3.5M than 3.0M?

Dec 19-25 week:

Wii

- $150 at Toys R US ($50 gift card with purchase of Wii)

- $125 at Best Buy?? (still confirming this - appears to be a $75 gift card with purchase of Wii)

When someone says the Wii is dying we should show them that the "dead" console is easily outselling the PS2

I'm very interested in seeing what Wii can do with a price effectively at $125 in a couple places (Walmart / Best Buy) in December. The $50 discount in late Sept 2009 led to a spike in the USA from something like 70,000 units per week to 150,000 - 185,000 week one and then stabilized at 127,000 units or so in October.

These $75 price cuts aren't everywhere, but they're larger than the drop from $250 to $200 ($75 vs. $50, 37.5% vs. 20%). Pretty much every major retailer except Game Stop has had a price cut for Wii this month - although not the week after BF. If you assume Wii sells for an average price of $165 or something in December, that'd be a a $35 price cut, 17.5% which would likely accompany a boost of 50% from Nov all by itself, in addition to the usual x2 rise. Still have to see what the Jan 1 week, the fifth week of the period holds, but "December" in the USA is really Black Friday to Christmas Eve, not Dec 1-Dec 31.

When you think about it blackfriday has nothing on a week before christmas when speaking of sales,  We could call it White Friday.

I'm pretty confident Wii will sell 3 million units in december. I am very curious if Wii tops last years "never going to happen again" numbers. That would be an amazing feat.

I think Wii may be closer to 3.5M than 3.0M.

And to think that before last year's december NPD figures got released, no one in the world would have thought the 2.7 million ps2 sold in december 2002 would ever be matched.

And here we are with Wii beating it twice! Dec 2011 I imagine Wii will do about 2.8M, down from 2010 yes but Wii will be nearing 100M, and the wii successor will be announce soon in 2012.

Sweet, sweet numbers. Always proof how wonderful is Wii doing.
