WHO IS JESUS REALLY?

Saturation confirmed!!? :P The dollar is so weak that Nintendo just might be almost losing money on the console here. However the Euro is amazingly strong, making them a greater profit. Nintendo is about the money, like every other corp.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

But the dollar is starting to strengthen, with the long looking very bullish (Goldman-Sachs agrees). I was really hoping to get a second Wii without working for it.

@BigJon, source?



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

I think it has to do more with supply, than demand, considering the console is still impossible to find online and is going for significantly more than its supposed to on Ebay.

I truely believe that if Nintendo shipped 200,000 units to the US next week, they'd sell em all.

...and I don't wanna hear any fake anecdotal evidence from fanboys in response to that opinion, please. Spare me.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

That's what I'm wondering... but I guess I would blame it on school too...

Europe is cooler than the US now. At least that is what I think when I see the DS sales charts.

Wii sales are down man just get over it, it cant sell perfectly big numberes all the time, and if i here one moe person say its because of supply i am going to have to slap them,

unless the Wii sells at least 140k+ in NA this week then everyone who is saying its all to do with supply can suck on me toe. i really do find it very hard to believe that Nintendo has increased production but are selling less and less.

if you ask me it has something to do with demand
