What do you think will happen to Wii  weekly hardware sales  when these 4 babes get released? (US & Japan) My guess is 1,000,000+ Japan and  2,000,000+ US

In how long a period of time!?!?! For SSBB, SMG, in both the US and Japan, we should see increased hardware sales of 50,000-100,000 per region. Possibly similar for Europe as well. MP3 in the US should see 40,000 or so hardware units. BW2? Maybe 5,000.

The Wii may become the fastest selling console of all time!

They will sell alot of the games you've mentioned...but they won't sell more Wii, unless that is, Nintendo manage to up production even more or, the demand for Wii starts to reduce.

BW won´t have an impact on hardware sales. Metroid can´t have an impact because the supply will still be lower than demand in August. But I expect Smash to sell at least 200k. I know at least 7 people that are waiting for it. And maybe more. Galaxy, will have a smaller impact, maybe 50k. Only Halo 3 and GTAIV will have a bigger impact in hardware sales, I think.

I dont think they'll have any impact on wii hardware says what so ever. they'll just keep the sales at the current levels. ie. demand out stripping supply. 

I personally dont think the wii sales will get any lower until after this christmas. Just my opinion mind.

I've actually been thinking about this ...

There was an initial lag time between the time when Nintendo released the Wii to when Nintendo realized they had a supply problem; as a guess, sometime in February or March they came to the realization that they needed to produce more Wii systems in order to meet demand. At this point Nintendo contacted manufacturing firms in order to manufacture Wii systems (and probably Wii accessories). Knowing Nintendo they probably entered into contracts with several manufacturers in order to protect themselves from being gouged by a particular manufacturer.

Depending on the terms of the contracts, from this point on all Nintendo has to do is realize that they want to increase production and then contact their manufacturers to increase Wii production; the only lag time that would exist would be the ammount of time for a manufacturer to bring a new facility online. Being that these manufacturers produce large volumes of varied consumer electronics for various companies, under various brands, for both long run and short run contracts they could probably increase Wii production quite rapidly.

I think they actually already started increasing Wii production, and have been stockpiling the increased production to sell millions during the holidays.

I have a feeling that they'll want to have increased supply on the shelves to coincide with these games releases (well, atleast the first three). By how much, who knows? And I can't remember, how many of these games have release dates set in stone?

It is insane that they are releasing all these huge titles at the same time. Nintendo is sure spoiling us, but I am not complaining. First Post!!

Holiday sales are going to be nothing short of amazing. Wiis will be flying everywhere.
