Sales are slowing down 3 years after release? Shocking if true!

And at the original price-point, too.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Every console is slowing, its called summer, happens every year.

It didn't happen to the Wii last year, but then it did have three huge releases to keep the fire going.  For the last 12 months, software has been pretty meh, but there are games coming, especially New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Last year Wii was still sold out in the biggest nations. Thus, its supply had not even met demand. This year supply has met demand and there are no big games launching. So, its behaving just like any other console during summer.

All 3 have been steadily slowing throughout the year. Just like all three will begin to increase after August.

If I were N, I would keep the price the same again this holiday but have Wii Sports Resort or NSMB Wii bundled along with Wii Sports and watch the sales continue to roll in. They could drop the price $50 but why when they could just add another game in and sell probably the same amount in the holidays..

Well there are Wii in most of the stores in my neighbourhood, but they seem to still sell, just not sellout.

I believe its just leveling off... but who knows with the upcoming games soon to release, could easily spike back up, or nada.

Time will tell.



I game.  You game.  We game.

I'm a videogamer, not a fanboy, but have a special place for Nintendo.
