The Japanese will sell around 100-120k Wiis. A common misconception about Japan is that Wiis are out everywhere. This really is not the case. Wii's are available in Japan. Granted they DO sell out sometimes in some places, but if you are set on getting one, you can get one. With that said, Wii numbers will be up due to SSBB.

Could SSBB be to the Wii in Japan what Halo 3 was for the 360 in USA?

Explanation:

In Halo 3's launch week, it didn't seem to have an astronomical impact on 360 hardware sales, but pretty soon it became clear that it set a new plateau for them. Could the same happen for the Wii in Japan now that SSBB has been released?

This what I have been trying to say for a while, I think SSBB will create demand to a new type of gamer in Japan. Not many mainstream japanese gamers seem to be on the Wii right now like Bodhesheva said. SMG is not going to make a mainstream gamer go out and buy a Wii, but he might buy it after has a wii. SSBB will make mainsteam gamers buy a wii.

psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

I'm saying around 130k-150k, maybe more I suppose.

If 1 in 5 bought a Wii, plus the usual WiiFit sales... closer to 170k.

Nintendo definately sold more units in Japan than usual this week, but like always, we have no way of knowing how much more.

How many people bought today? People buy, and Nintendo dances. When will Nintendo stop dancing? Nintendo won't stop dancing, not until consumerism is defeated. Those were my thoughts that day, I think.

Sorry, FFX reference. The topic title just reminded me of the original line that was derived from, and I couldn't help myself. In all seriousness, though, Brawl probably moved however many extra Wiis were allocated to Japan to coincide with its launch. Supply constraints do that, you know.

I wouldn't expect WW sales to jump much, maybe 20k or so, but things will probably drop in the US and rise in Japan like they did for Wii Fit.

I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?
