January 5th 2008 -> May 3rd 2008 : 6 255 300 units sold

January 3rd 2009 -> May 2nd 2009 : 6 180 540 units sold ( lacking Japan which is going to be around 22k).

So the Wii is now down YoY by around 55k units...

To put things in perspective at the end of Q1 the Wii was up YoY by 950k...

Recession ftw.

Is Japan a big portion of this downage? because Wii supplies are finally in order in NA and Europe.

Stick a fork in the Wii, because it's DONE. The analysts were right all along, the whole thing really was just a fad.

Now the emperor has no clothes. Now we have paid attention to the man behind the curtain. Now the Mighty Casey has struck out. There is no more joy in Mudville.

Dump your Nintendo stocks folks, because this party is OVER.

it's down 400k YoY in Others, up in NA and down in Japan.

Errr it's up 400k YoY in Others my bad I can't do maths. So yeah Japan is the reason.

Wasn't there a thread where you predicted the Wii would be down YoY in Q2, and everyone laughed at you, calling you crazy? (At the time, I was pretty sure you'd be proven correct.)

Yes there was

It's up YoY 400k in Others, up YoY 400k in NA and down 850k in Japan.

What are the numbers on the PS3 and 360, while you're at it?

 Japan is Games

They need a spark in Japan.

I would suggest getting a game or two that would be big for Japan out NOW and/or colors.

Wouldn't do a price drop until end of year at the earliest if at all this year.
