Forums - Sales - The Official - Wii Breaks 20 Million Thread

Xeo_842 on 16 January 2008

So the Wii is just two gamecubes taped together with a Wiimote? So instead of buying a Wii for 250$ I could of bought two gamecubes for 160$ and taped them together? *Buys two gamecubes and tapes them together* Hey! This looks nothing like the Wii! The disc wont fit in the drive and the controllers wont link up to it. That Sony fan LIED TO ME!!!

Bet with OriGin: Within 1 year Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be ahead of Mario Kart Wii (when aligning the one whole year from each region). 2 week ban from Vgchartz for the loser. Edit: Darn! Looks like OriGin will win.

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.


 

You both gonna wish. You've ate your words when wii is still selling like hotcakes. Also to u dummies who still think it's a fad. Your wrong. I have people at work wanting a wii and wanna play it. The wii love is not over.

Oh just two times doesn't matter. Wii has still kicked the shit out of it most of the time

There are serious duct tape shortages.

The Wii is a fad, just accept it PAT.
only someone like u would believe that.  Wii has done too many good things to prove that it's not a fad. PS3 and x360 are fads they can't even keep up. Wii has won. Sony and mircosoft have failed. They both should take some lessons from nintendo.

Won't be till next week I'm afraid.

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.

 


 

Well, in Austria, Poland, Czech, Slovakia and Hungary there are plenty of Wii in stock, but that's how it always was in this regions.

Here is Nintendo what is Xbox in Japan.
