Forums - Sales - Wii Mega Shortage Confirmed

I theorize that they are holding back stock to break all records in February where they will manage to sell 3.6m in 4 weeks

hopefully this will show nintendo they definitely need to up production. I still know a bunch of people who want one but can't find one, and now i'm the one hunting for them.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

This was expected. Reggie said two months ago that some of January's allotment was shipped in December.



Obviously Nintendomination is at an end. The Wii bubble has burst. It's all over, folks.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

If it is indeed the rain check program, and VGChartz gets its data from Retailers, how is vgchartz going to compensate for these sales? Or were they already included in December's numbers?

ioi said in another thread that the rainchecks are included in the numbers. I don't know if he was talking about December or (possibly upcoming) January numbers though.

 Sorry now that the holidays are over your cookie is being shipped by boat, not fedex,  and all of our January cookies are preordered, and we have a big cookie release in March, so it will take at least a 2 months to start stocking your house with cookies. If you prefer we can have leo-j hold it until September.



Final* Word on Game Delays:

The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.

Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.

Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
