Even for weekly sales on the Holidays it's almost impossible.

Since Trestres is banned I suppose I'll do the update this week. Not trying to hijack the thread or anything.

Note: There was about a 13k upwards adjustment this week.

Thank you for the update postofficebuddy :D

Wii is DOWN 3,465,731 units from 2008!  =(

Note: The gap is now increasing faster than in previous weeks.

No prob doing the update. I'll admit I was wrong, NSMB wasn't able to close the gap. Does anyone know what sort of deals were done last Black Friday for the Wii. There doesn't seem to be any good ones this year. 1 million should still be no problem, but 1291k is a bit of a stretch.

Wii is DOWN 3,767,740 units from 2008!  =(

Note: Wii sold 1 million units this week, but it's still way down from last year's numbers. The gap has grown.

too bad : (

but hey, 2008 was the key year that made Wii so huge, it cannot be repeated so easy

Mario Kart and SSBB do not come out every year...

Wii is DOWN 3,708,044 units from 2008!  =(

Note: Wii is up YoY once again.

Looking at FY over FY, last year at this point there had been 16 million Wiis sold vs 11.4 million this year.

This means the Wii is 4.6 million down this FY over the last one, which will mean that the reduced projection will likely be hitted. Nintendo initially expected 26 million Wiis to be sold from April 09 to April 2010, but then in November, they changed their forecast to 20 million Wii's.

In order for the Wii to reach 20 million sold, it will have to sell 8.6 million until April starts. In other words they will have to sell an average of 537,000 units / week. It will all depend on how well the Wii sells this holiday season. Last year the Wii sold 4.85 million units during the last 4 weeks of the year, so if the Wii sells say 4.3 million (which is half of the total it needs to reach the projections) then they will need to sell an average of 360k units / week, which would seem a lot. The Wii on the same period last fiscal year, exactly managed that, 4.3 million in the 4th quarter. Nintendo something big in Q4 of this FY if they expect to reach the projections.

Wii is DOWN 3,321,868 units from 2008!  =(

Note: The Wii sees a big YoY increase, thanks mostly to the Walmart 50$ gift card deal. 2 more weeks remain until the FY ends.
