Leo, the 1.8 milion number comes from financial reports, not PR.

Yes, Reggie and Nintendo have a history of lying to everyone in sight about concrete numbers!

DKII how come you rarely post and then when the wii falters on a week its supposed to do well you show up and start posting damage control all over the place?

That is not true, Reggie said this at GDC.

Those saying Reggie is lying about the console numbers either have a little devil in their heart, they aren't analytical, or they are just hating on Wii success! They may be holding back for higher demand, yes, but in no way are they making less than 1.8 mil.

Remember, Korea and China? Remember. MkWii?

Remember Wiifit? (which may be one of vg history's biggest system sellers because of hype among 30-70 year olds!)

Most of the time DKII is moding, but someone with 30 posts on the site who's already been banned once hardly has the right to criticize a respected intelligent member's posting habits. I don't see why the man should be criticized for giving a valid opinion on sales issues.

As he said, Nintendo officially stated they produce 1.8 million Wiis per month. They also have stocked units for a later date in the past after meeting financial goals. I'm not sure why it's so odd that they would do so now.

Because most of the time I don't bother dealing with the forums, but the sheer stupidity of having Sony fanboys in here gloating about how their console was *only* outsold 2:1 is irresistable.

Yes record profits and outselling your competitors 2:1 = Failure.
