So Wii didn't sell anything at all in EMEAA in Q1 then? maybe a few 1,000's :S:S.

Yes it did, they just overshipped in Q3.

VGC need to do something about their tracking system. This is downright horrible, normally the diffrence should be 1-2 million but here VGC figures are even above Nintendo shipment for both systems.



Think overtracking in EMEAA mostly in both 3rd and 4th qtr, but also some in Americas. I dont recall any adjustments yet for March in US even after NPD came out and wasnt NPD like 90K lower than VGC for US?



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

I know this is kinda off-topic now, but...

If Nintendo only shipped 15 Million Wii's, and Sony were also aiming for 15 Million PS3's...

Is it possible that the PS3 outshipped the Wii for the FY, and we just had the "Year of the PS3"?

Wii shipped 15.01, and Sony announcing 50 mill means to some it's only reached 50 mill, some are saying beyond that. But you're right, they could very well beat their projection if they were on course to reach it, it's only 100k after all.

I expect Sony to beat Wii's 13 mill projection next year, that'll probably slide to below 12 mill anyway, going by the fact Nintendo have adjusted the Wii forecast 3 times in a row now ... 18 > 17.5 > 16 > 15.01
