One thing you need to remember is that the Japanese by nature are not risk takers. Their culture is very conservative. Nintendo as whole proves to fit this mold.

A little off topic but.... Pearl Harbor anyone?

It's hard to believe the power the Nintendo brand name has now.

Well I guess in that case it will be interesting to see how the numbers hold up for the next couple of weeks because by then the new shipments will definitely be in.

Indeed.  If America's numbers don't increase by quite a lot by next week, something is amiss.

Wasn't much of a risk when no one knew they were about to attack, perhaps entering the war so forcibly was risky, but that particular battle doesn't seem so. On Topic: Well ioi is expecting an increase either last week [numbers soon to be added] or this week [ending 2nd Feb]

On the contrary, the battle was very risky.  Success meant immobilizing the entire pacific fleet, while failure meant feeling the wrath of the US.  If Admiral Nagumo had have commenced the third wave and struck at the fuel storage of the fleet, the US pacific fleet would have been set back at least a year.  I'd say Pearl Harbor was mildly successful, but the Japanese sure could've done a lot more damage had they taken the extra risk of following through with a third wave.  Oh well, waaaay off topic, but interesting nonetheless. :D

Sounds to me like they were being too conservative when they held back the third wave.  ;)



God you people are lame for turning this into a pissing contest of War time logistics. Hey, I have the history channel too but you don't see me bragging. :)

Actually, it wasn't a risk at all. The Kaiser, was the son of god (or brother or just very good friend, something like that), and because of that, he could not lose. Thereby, the attack had to go well, and the alliance (is this the word of UK, USA and Soviet in English?) could not win the war.

Apparently XBrawlX and Punisher haven't read the OP.

Sorry, i did read it.

And i did answer to your question about Nintendo being conservative in their increases.

Nothing's cheaper than something free.

F1 vs FOTA, when too much power is in couple peoples hands.

So you are saying that? http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=All&cons2=PS2&reg2=All&cons3=GC&reg3=All&weeks=80&weekly=1 (same graph just weekly)

They are increasing now, and will keep at same rate above PS2. But the problem here, is that it was first after 34 weeks that PS2 came to USA, and they upped production to keep up with that.
