So it's time for another Wii numbers adjustment?

Obviously, Fastrabbit09, you are not the sharpest tool in the shed. Why wouldn't you look in the Nintendo forum also, seeing as that this concerned Nintendo? Also, my thread was highly sarcastic, seeing all caps and exclamation points, I figured I didn't need to add the /sarcasm.



I am fairly certain that number is shipped and not sold. While the two are very close for the Wii given supply constraints they will rarely be identical due to transit time. Still, he made that prediction a long time ago and it certainly seemed unlikely for the most part. You have to give him credit for being off by a such a relatively small amount.

personal attacks do not become you

this topic has to do with SALES, thus I put it on the SALES board...i don't care if it's on the Nintendo board; this is a topic that we consistently discuss on the SALES board

*Sigh*

I'm done. Now we have two of the same topics in the hot topics board. Pity that people don't understand the wasted bandwith, time, and space that posting a thread that is already posted does.
