Seems famitsu and M create agree on 100k wii sold in japan. So there ws no wii shipment displaced from NA if thats the case/ Maybe the fad is dying in NA because sales are high in europe and japan so there no supply contraint

 Yawn. Its pretty off-season for and its still beating the pants off the other two. How long will you people declare Wii to be a fad? It outsold all other systems in 2007 and will continue to do so this year and throughout this generation. If it were a fad, wouldn't it have fizzled already instead of having minor fluctuations with sales, especially since its been longer than a year?

So, since Japan Wii sales are 100k this week... (right?)

And Worldwide Wii sales are already 240k this week.... (right?)

So Worldwide Wii sales would be 340k this week.... (right?)

So wii sales went up 30k this week worldwide? Right?

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

The fad is over, that's it. I was foolish to believe in Nintendo.

 

Fucking Jaffe must've been right all along. 



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

LOL at the replies, yeah the Wii is dead, even though it's selling at a rate which will eventually see it as 50% market share, which it wasn't even doing during the holiday season.

Yes, evidently the fad is over. Didn't you guys see all the news coverage about stores choking on unsold Wiis?

Wii demand is officially over.
