I know.  But like I said, the demand can explode, but hardware sales can't explode if Nintendo doesn't ship more units.



So, uh... the Regginator said June for Wii > 360 in NA, right? Lets see here...

11.49-10.34 = 1.15 million left in America... WiiFit releases may 19th... that means that if Wii averages ~100k/week till then there will be about .615 million difference when it releases...

Hmm, about 2 weeks of May sales before June starts, and I don't remember if he gave himself till the end of June...

Oh well, 100k-300k per week depending on the exact wording Reggie used.

Darnit! Those numbers aren't an explosion! Stupid Regginator. I hope Patcher is right...



Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.

Well, in Europe they've stopped preorders because the demand is so high. Demand has no limit, everyone should know that.

 I don't think anybody had GTA3 doing well.  After all the first two GTA games sucked and it was from some pretty unheralded developers as far as i remember.



keep in mind Patcher checks this site, he may read your comments =P "

 Well, he was close... it only sold about 50x that

 

Wii Fit will drive demand from unprecedented to impossible-to-fill.  However, I think there's a great chance they will have production doubled by then. 



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
