I am Mario.


I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

tabsina-

from what I hear Japan has a healthy amount of Wii for this week, it is there biggest sale week combined with Wii fit, I don't see the Wii selling under 200k there



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

lets see how close these predictions come when the numbers start falling in place.

1.2-1.5 WW



Bacon,

1.2-1.3 is a good guess on the lower side(aka realistic)

200k for japan(prelim)
900k NA
350k for others

I think the prelim is low for Jap(it always is alittle, Source does an awsome job regardless)

my original prediction was 1.65... NA is gonna have to REALLY explode to get that much... maybe 1.5 would better...BUT I better stay with my prediction... too late to change it...

1.65 here we COME

I'd say 1.5 million worldwide, which seems a lot, but isn't really. It gets me close to my original 19 million LTD by year's end prediction, though after the last shipment forecast increase I was expecting more around 20. Still, 19 million is inline with shipment forecasts, which they'll always easily meet, as long as they're sold out.



Reality has a Nintendo bias.

I think the number you guys should brace yourselves for is Wii software. Here in Canada, the shelves are picked clean. I mean its just like tokilamockingbrd has documented. I've been to BestBuy, Walmart, and Futureshop. It looks like someone came in and robbed the store. Nintendo is really losing billions right now by not having enough Wiis. On a side note, do you guys think Wiifit will come out after Brawl here in NA? I have a feeling it will. After Brawl but before Kart.



 

 

I wonder how the public will react when Nintendo airs commercials for Wii fit. I predict sellouts for the Wii Jan-May. Probably more.



 

 

Software will be off the charts, especially in America. As Wii software has had a knack of increasing with hardware, if it goes up. But when it goes down it doesn't drop with it. Important to note in the legs of most Wii titles.

But I still stick with my original guess. 1650k worldwidw with 900k in NA, 500k in EO, and 250k in Japan. My Japan guess seems to pretty good based on preliminaries.

 seems you were right, going off the prelim data, my minimum remains at 1.3 though
