Forums - Sales Discussion - The Trend is Over

ZenfoldorVGI on 12 February 2008

The Wii this week, only sold 216,157 units.  This obviously means the trend is over.

 

LoL! Seriously though, what was that guys name, last week, who kept trolling, and saying that the trend in America is over. He said that since it only sold 90,000 units, it must be meeting demand, and that simply meant that the trend must be through, and demand must be met.

 

Bad part is, some of you were like "Oh, it's the time of year!" When it obviously was just supply constrainment numbers, and not the time of years. Nintendo could and has shipped 216,157 consoles to North America, and they sold 216, 157 consoles in NA, assuming these numbers stand and not a typo or something,(because I could believe they were a typo) then yeah, it's official:

 

The Trend is Over! Rejoice nintendo haters.

that's no trend with Wii, ever, it all depends on where Nintendo decides to ship their consoles.

^yeah, Ninty regulates the sales - not the customers because wherever there are Wiis, that's where they will be bought

@king.

Yep thats pretty much it. Nintendo ships, holds, changes production, does whatever. The Wii is entirely unpredictable because it sells out in Japan, America and large parts of 'Others' thus making the sales entirely up to Nintendo.

Ninty obviously thought the Wii needed a boost in America for some reason.

I think they are trying to get the console base as large as possible for the launch of Smash.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

wiiforever on 12 February 2008

^yeah so maybe Smash can break Halo 3's record!

I would have been with you people laughing earlier, but enough is enough now. Everybody knows Wii is going to get huge sales, and I think you like being the underdog in the whole thing.

EVERY week it is "Duhh, Wii fails LAWL!" but nobody thinks that anymore besides like 2 or 3 trolls.

Move on with the times and stop mocking people from 2 years ago.

Kayanator, I remember now. Looks like he got banned, or I would bump his topic for my laughing pleasure.
