| Oyvoyvoyv said: Wow! The same time last year, Wii sold 4862K. This year it sold 7522K! That is a solid increase! And as it was sold out during whole last year too, and that means the production has gone up with about 55%, which is totally insane! It is probably more than that too, since they had stockpiled for launch. This tecnically means that Nintendo had thought the Wii would sell less that half of what it has (since they thought it would dip a bit), and therefore, they were prepared for a 3rd place. And Avi, why is it a problem that he ignored the supply issues? According to you, they are always going to be there, and therefore production increase is the only matter, which also means that his post was correct. You know, it is acceptable that the other consoles are doing good too, you know. After all, 3489K more so far is pretty amazing. The Wii did a 2555K (abouts) increase. What you are doing, is excluding the Europe fact when looking at total sales, AND including it when it favours your "statistics". |
No, i'm not, you see PS3 wasn't sold in europe early last year, it wasn't until march that it was launched, so i'm not excluding it when it doesn't suit me, I can't include figures that don't exist.
Also when Wii sells 40K one wekk 200K the next and 70K another week, its pretty clear that there are supply issues at the time, but it seems that some want to call it bias when a person points out the data
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
