In all seriousness.. i think Kayanator has a valid point...

If we just look at the trends from the week ending 19th Jan, 26th Jan, and this week. we can definitely see the downward trend that he has suggested...

19 Jan - 242,938
26 Jan - 312,923
02 Feb - 340,000ish (240k in USA/Europe, and approximately 100k in Japan)

If you wii fanboys, and marioboys for that matter, can't see how that is going down, you definitely need to get your eyes checked

He doesn't have a valid point...because ALL the consoles have been dropping sales lately. And I'm pretty sure the Wii is still supply constrained to some extent.

Since when was the beginning of February some sort of hot consumer buying period?  Sales suck for any business this time of year.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

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.

The Wii sales are so abysmal this week, man, why does Ninendo even try.

*edited by stof as that was totally unwarranted.*


Thanks, for I am a drunkard, but stand by it! I blame society, honestly.

lol @ ben.

Yes, because obviously if the Wii doesn't sell out for the next five years it is clearly just a fad and will ultimately fail.

Come one man, don't pretend. Don't play us for fools. I know your game! It's to pretend that the Wii is doing bad, to further your console, the PS3 or the 360. Tell the truth. Tell it!! Tell the truth. What is your console of choice!?
