Forums - Sales Discussion - Wii Baseline HW Sales after May 15 Price Cut?

That depends on if the PS3 and 360 get a price cut as well. What if MS price cuts really aggressivelly and has the Core for U$129? Or Sony drops the PS3 to U$199? Too early to tell right now.

By summer it will drop below 50K ,if a price cut arrives in all regions it will manage to stay above 90K. 1.5M Wii will shipped Q2.


You do realize you're starting to sound idiotic and nonsense?

Man, you really should be banned.


How so?wii took a big dive I mean 115K that's low, it was 20K down from last week, so it's bound to drop a again by summer with no price cut.

Why would that happen? The holiday lift will be smaller but in 2009, rumors of the price cut in late September were floating around in June - September and the lift was still pretty substantial if you back and look at our data.


Past performance is not a measure of future success 



geez, yet another thread where the foresight of nintendogamer looks terrible but the hindsight is pretty close.

Ah atleast TheSource was less than 60% off.

Nintendogamers looks like going to be the winner.



 

I wasn't as far off as you guys think - when I did the article on this I had Wii doubling in the Americas and plus 80% in EMEAA. We have plus 50% in EMEAA in 2 days, and plus 80% in the Americas - the baseline figures in the initial post are just much stronger than what Wii was at leading to the cut.

Exactly as I thought would happen.  Wii takes back the sales lead again.  Seriously, some of the people made some really idiotic threads because of that sales dip.  There's a dry spell in Wii's software lineup and a price cut coming, why the hell is it shocking you people that the Wii hardware sales fell.  

Japanese numbers still aren't out yet, will probably boost nintendo to around 140-150 thousand consoles.  Im curious about weather the numbers will go up or down next week though.  I don't think Nintendo will lose the top spot even if we are at the peak of the sales right now, but I think sales are a little bit high considering a price cut just happened.  Although Wii sales have usually shown a pattern of being slow and steady so the real results won't show for a few months yet.

Your problem is you're using March numbers to extrapolate sales in the summer. 

Also your expectations for the first week are much more than 80% higher.  150% for America and 122% for EMEAA.
