Nope, the fad is over and Wii will be selling 10 units a week for the rest of its lifetime. Meanwhile...PS3 sales will explode to 500,000 a week and hit the 200 million mark lifetime :P

Thanx. That's what I've been trying to tell people for some time now, but noone listens.


They have lost faith in you and your future


They are Evel.

 So it won't move 112.000 units every day? Strange.

Well, check out as many European retailers as you can and tell me how many have Wiis in stock. Go ahead, I did it with online retailers and I didn't find any in UK, France, Germany or Portugal (and I didn't check Amazon only).

The Wii is obviously supply constrained during this week, they must be restocking the retail channel as fast as they can.

What about the NA Wii Rainchecks? I thought that would easily give Nintendo Christmas-strength sales through January. Hmm...



There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

Well done the little fella. Assuming it happens next week.

I don't have one yet but I might get one later this year - I now have one TV out of three with nothing hooked up to it so it seems the logical choice to turn my house into a virtual arcade.

Saturn and Mediamarkt in Germany have a few in some markets.

I'll be more interested when it passes 22m and thus Gamecube. Plus, I don't think the 20m barrier will be this week.
