Forums - Nintendo - Do you think the Wii is losing Stamina?

It's definitely selling slower, but considering the insane numbers it was doing before, it was to be expected.

The fact that it has gone so long without a price cut is remarkable in itself.

Obviously the Wii is going to calm down in sales, more and more people want HD, so they are slowing making that transition.

No, it's because people have nothing to do with their money so they spend it in a Wii to just look it and to use it when there's a lot of wind (remember that people with Wiis ain't buy games)

starting to slow generally, i think no, in Europe/USA dsi has just been released it's taking most of the sales, maybe taking sales from Wii as well

starting to slow in Japan, yes, a lot, but MH2 came out this week

most games flop in Japan, except RPGs or Nintendo games



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

The PS3 selling more in Japan is just a phrase it will grow out and Wii will be back.

Yes and I'm not basing myself on Japan only.
This week Others number is the lowest week for Wii in Others since mid March 2008

Q2 2009 for the Wii looks to be significantly lower than Q2 2008 and the Wii will probably loose any progress it had made in Q1 by the end of June...

Lets look at April.

April 2008 :

NA : 623k

Others : 654k

April 2009 :

Others : 376k in 3 weeks, probably 500k for the month.

NA : 245k for 2 weeks, probably 500k for the months.

20-25% down for NA+Others ( disregarding Japan which is down over 50% so far).

And I don't think May or June will be any better, but more like April...

May 2008 :

Others : 900k

NA : 1.245k

June 2008 :

Others : 639k

NA : 713k

 

Being optimistic I can see the Wii selling 600k in each territory in May and another 600k in June, which would make May be down Worldwids roughly 40% and June down 10%....
