Very true.


I'm one of those people you hate for no reason.  I was a mistake afterall.


Don't flatter yourself I don't hate people on the internet, what a waste of emotion, regardless don't take us off topic and ruin yet another thread.

Why don't you try and contribuit and stop wallowing in these threads? I feel sorry for Nintendo fans having to put up with doom and gloom not only from Sony/MS fans, but from Nintendo fans as well ...

Just stop it cos nobody wants to hear it, right?

You hate me as you've already demonstrated before,  if it bothers them then they can simply skip any comments I've ever written and will write.


Alright, stop now, you're completely de-railing this thread.

Check your inbox Nintendogamer.

Yay!

Ot: Well, next week flat, a couple of k different, I don't think the price cut comes to effect until another week.

The price cut week? It won't go up so much because it isn't the "real" one, and if I'm correct, it is so far American only.

The "real" price cut in May will be bigger though.

Don't forget, Black Wii, Wiimote , Wii Sports Resort and nunchuck for #99 over onAmazon UK. It's the second best selling Gaming item in total, ahead of Portal, Mortal Kombat etc.

So you know, pre price-cut it wasn't in the top 100. So 10k increase seems likely WW. 

The May price cut will be huge, yes.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Wii lowest sales ever? The fad is over!

Shame it only lasted 5 and a half years of course

Credit where it's due, the console was bound to fail, and it didn't. It changed the world, so a few months of average sales won't change that...

The Wii came out in 2006.

*ahem*

4 and a half years

6 years if the Wii2 releases in 2012, as is predicted. I don't think we'll see much of anything at E3 TBH. If we do only a vague hint of something, not a full-blown reveal like the 3DS last year...


i'm not going to argue for or against the fad argument. but the fact is wii sales didn't just start droping, they've been dropping since 2007.

And yet it's STILL on par with the other two consoles, as proven by your signature, which doesn't look too good for the HD consoles..


Looks pretty fantastic for 2nd and 3rd place consoles to me, the market leader sales are the one's that don't look too good.

Unlike most people here, I prefer to look at the bigger picture, rather than not looking past the weekly trends. And the big picture is that Wii has sold 87 million units and looks to sell at least 100 million in a 5-6 year span, coming off a 22 million selling console, selling over 30 million more than its HD competitors, which have almost all of the third party support locked up. That to me is not only good, but phenomenal.

Wii is a major and completely unexpected success, nothing from this point on can change that fact, even if the console fails to sell a single unit from here on out. The REAL question will be if Nintendo can sustain this success and remain smart going into the next gen, which to me so far it doesn't look like they are.

Oh surely below 1k copies in Japan. And then the next week around 100 copies.


Wow you and I think alike but seriously you should have seen the comments on amazon.co.uk forums last year, people were saying Wii wont sell a thing after Move came out.

What's your obsession with quoting absoloute fanboys from N4G, Amazon ect who know NOTHING about sales, and clinging on to it ...

seriously STOP IT.

It can bother me a very much sometimes.

I'm sure it can but you're annoying everyone here and we just don't care, go write all your feelings about Nintendo sales in a diary or something. SPARE US.


Any thing I've ever written has annoyed people.  So why I bother sometimes to write anything down.

Very true.

LOL...that was one of the best posts I have seen on this site.

*On Topic*

I don't know how much Wii will be next week or the week after because I don't exactly know when these discounts take place. When the actual Price Cut to $150 happens Wii sales will easily go up and probably go back to being #1 again. That is of course until the PS3 or 360 get a Price Cut. IMO Price Cuts makes sales go up(No dip) but it won't make or break a system. The Price Cuts won't make one system sell over the other when all 3 get 1 around the same time or same year. Games(and Items such as Kinect and move) will be the most important thing by far and without them Wii won't remain #1 for long even with a Price Cut. E3 should reveal who will come out on top for overall 2011 sales.
