WalMart has a Nintendo Wii Customer Choice Bundle

Wii
2 remotes
2 nunchuks
SSBB Game
Plus 3 other games
For $496

They have been pushing the deal for 2 weeks.

From looking at the numbers for SSBB,
I think they may have sold almost 100,000 of these Wii bundles.

They are pushing Wii Fit for mothers day.

Do you think they can sell 200,000 Wii Fit's in the first week ?
What wii Wii Fit do in it's first week ?

So where did you get 100,000 from? Just pulled that out of your rear or is that based on something? Walmart doesn't normal release sales info to anyone including NPD.

WiiFit will be HUGE no doubt.

Smash increased because Wii's sold more, not because of a WalMart bundle.



BAM! There it is!

What about all the other retailers, why do you think the jump in Brawl numbers this week was soley from Walmart???

I just think that this WalMart bundle had a big part of the SSBB jump in sales.
The Wii has been sold out for a long time at WalMart.

100,000 is too high, more like 70,000

Don´t make your own calculation..Leave them to pros.Or don`t tell them loud.
Stick to playing games..

Walmart is big, but 50% of all NA sales big for one console, me thinks no.

I'm sorry I don't make fun of newbie. but COME THE HELL ON!!!!

walmart is doing what it can to capitalize on the success of the Wii. This bundle doesn't force you to buy games that you don't want but are all single handedly chosen by you. I do realize that you're only saving like 20 bucks or so.
