fuck you wii fans.



coltsfan is modest, but a little shy as well.



Yeah, but I think he had some bad experiences in his childhood, cause his mind seems a little too much fixed at one topic.



Currently Playing: Skies of Arcadia Legends (GC), Dragon Quest IV (DS)

Last Game beaten: The Rub Rabbits(DS)

As far as I know, other than writing the HTML parser, there's no way to gather the week over week data. I gathered it by hand months ago when VGC still had NPD data going back to 1995 for every month. That was enough info for me to gather the idea on how monthly sales go, and I was able to extrapolate a masterwork on all the sales data.

Again, having said that, you could EASILY extrapolate sales for all 3 consoles. However, it'd be an impossiblity, as the data would totally buck every trend: the Wii, if correct under the analysis, would sell around 3m units in December alone. This is litterally impossible given the situation with production. So due to this, the analysis is useless, and we can end there.

But of course, again, under using the analysis, if Nintendo did by some reason magically ship 3m consoles to the US in December, it could sell upto 4m in December alone given current trends. Possible? Theoretically. Practical prediction? Heck no.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Hey, that is what this site is all about, isn't it?

 

Well, i will look into a html parser, but that would gimme some hard work, Basicly, i hate to write those.



Yeah it is really a mystery how many consoles Nintendo is going to be able to ship in time for late november/december.
