I think what people really want to know is whether wii sales will slow down while the HD sales go up. Otherwise is no suprise that after 2.5 years the console's sales tend to slow down.
"¿Por qué justo a mí tenía que tocarme ser yo?"
If you can easily find Wii's walking into Target, Best Bay and Walmart, then demand has dropped. If not, then maybe not yet.
| TheSource said: I don't think Wii will have a peak week as high as in April to June 2008 but on average because Mario Kart and Wii Fit (and Smash in Europe) were huge but the Wii will probably be up a little bit anyway. Sales in Japan won't be down as much as the previous quarter either because of Monster Hunter G and Wii Sports Resort. Punch Out is going to be pretty big though. It sold over 3m units on the NES, and did well on SNES too. So Punch Out and the Sega/EA sports games utilizing motion plus in them should provide small spikes from the current level of Wii sales. Q2 could conceivably be down or flat though overall and in the west. Q3 looks like the big pre-Christmas quarter this year with Wii Sports Resort coming in July.

SSBB NA release was in march so that easily carried over into Q2 as well, Wii had very strong titles early in the year last year whereas the other 2 had capcom and some key JP stuff this year so it's not very surprising at all, E3 is going to be very interesting, with M+ coming out early June with games like Grand Slam Tennis and Tiger Woods, it will attract even more people, it's going to be a good year to come for Nintendo most likely imo.

But the original Punch Out, Mike Tyson's Punch Out! had Mike Tyson in it and that's why it did 3 million because everybody wanted a chance at Iron Mike Tyson. As far as I know Iron Mike isn't in this one.

na, I'm pretty hot on the new Punch Out right now even without Tyson, I'll live, that game will sell pretty well.

I think it would do even better with Tyson in it and from what I read about him on Wikipedia, he wouldn't mind to have a bit of the money. So, I think Nintendo should put Iron Mike in the game otherwise its just going to be a glorified Taibo simulator with cartoon characters.

he's already licensed out to another video game i think, punch out looks awesome either way though, there is noway in hell i'd motion control that thing, first thing ima do is unplug the chuck and have a go at it old school NES style.
On Topic the Wii saw a dropoff of over 50% in Others this week from last week and last week was the lowest week in several weeks following another week that was the lowest week in a while.

makes sense if you look at the software side, it's not hard to figure out, not like it's the end of the world for Wii.

Yeah, but if Microsoft or Sony had a big game coming out now, they could take a bit of advantage of this.
