I think way too many people are putting their hope in NSMBWii to revive the Wii sales back to previous years...
We're going to see some disappointment when Q1 2010 Wii sales are lower than Q1 2009 and when Wii sales are actually down YoY the week NSMBWii releases...

Like I've said before, if NSMB Wii can't siginfiantly lift Wii sales, I'm convinced that nothing will (exepct maybe a new Wii Zelda)

 

 



They are all doing from good to very good, but despite having high absolute numbers, DS has the biggest YoY drop as units difference and the second % one, after the old PS2.

2D Super Mario Bros is far,far, FAR more popular than Zelda will ever be.

Excuse me ???

 

Q1 2009 was the Wii second best quarter ever outside of a holyday....( behind Q2 2008 by 600k).

Yeah, I didn't mean Q1 2009 in particular, but from March onwards (once momentum was dying down). Regardless, with the 09 lineup and price cut I can't see it being that far down from 09, at least until the effect wears down.


As for counting "peak years," I'm referring to Calendar years - launch is year 0, next is 1, 2 (peak), 3, etc.). Wii is going into its 3rd year's holiday, and it peaked in its 2nd year (2008). I suppose my method might be odd (or "wrong"), but I assumed this was what people went by (when they always compare 360 vs PS3, for example). If we start the years at launch (~November 19, I think), the Wii is currently down by ~2mil from its second year, with 2 weeks to go.

I agree UNLESS

NSMB Wii is a phenomenon, in the sense that its the FIRST mario platformer with co-op in the full game & in all the levels

and so far most accounts are that the multiplayer part isn't as great as the single player..


  So?

 

If the single player is amazing, and the multiplayer only excellent, how is that a bad thing?
