thank you for giving us the first actually sensible reason for low DS sales

Wrong, after 3 million in Dec did every person just get the rumoured April release date email notice?

Its supplies. Infact maybe Nintendo is releasing in april and they are trying to get rid of old stock in the US prior to release.

He didn't say "the true reason", he said: "the first actually sensible reason"

So he isn't wrong.

I meant to say i think waiting for a DSi is not a sensible reason why a 300k av. week is less than 100k this week. That's what i meant.

 



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

YOY the Wii is up over 300%. Does that mean the Wii is going to sell 75 million in 2009?

 

 Could it keep going up 300%? That would be insane



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

DSi is not meant is a total replacement anyways, I doupt that Nintendo would rid all present stock.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

DS is a sinking ship in America, two weeks in a row 360 has outsold it. If it happens next week there won't be any supply excuses.

 

well since i have curently been looking for a new ds for the past two weeks becasue my screen broke on mine i will let you know when i  can actaully find one in stores. so far a week has gone by an i still havent been able to see one in stores.

 

gamestop did tell me it would be better if i wait till april and buy the dsi becasue thatn when it was coming out according to them.

 



hello how are you.
