Forums - Nintendo - Report: Nintendo Scaling Back Wii Production

superchunk on 02 December 2009

Makes sense to me and is unfortunate for Nintendo as well as they were not able to capture the 3rd party support for big IPs thus, are leveling out lower than anticipated. However, its at a level that is still very much higher than PS360.

Dude, you should really learn how to spell. I thought you were talking about something else.

Dude, you should really learn about "context". How would I talk about cum in relation to hardware shortages, its obvious what I meant.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Maybe HIS "shortage" will cum indeed. It is negative news about Nintendo, he gets overly excited about that.

Considering Nintendo had ramped up production due to unforseen demand last year, it just means they are going back to normal production schedules.

it probably means too that those expecting Wii sales in 2010 to go back to 2008 levels are out of their mind..



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Context can go fall off a bridge.

Not really. Wii sales can explode in 2010 regardless of this.

Did anyone actually say that 2010 sales would exceed 2008 sales though?  And if so, who?

Not really, as Wii was supply constrained last year, so it could be supply constrained as well next year



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

It's always a possibility, but I don't remember anyone saying it will happen.
