Forums - Sales Discussion - Can the Wii reach 1m units sold again on 5th. Jan. week?!!

If it manages 1 million units I'll be impressed. The real thriller will be Q2 and Q3 this year though.

Even 900K would be stunning for this week, it would be up 50% YoY over a week that was itself up >50% YoY. That's after the horrible year Wii has had in 2009. If it reaches 900k and anyone claims NSMB is not a system seller, this will be a good week to point to. What else is causing these Wii sales?

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

They sure are huge. Even more impressive after reading what sort of increase it would be, from a couple of posts i have just read.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Lol, well depends on how much faith you have in Mario, at this rate probably, I
m not exactly sure if it's the holiday season alone or Mario that is giving the boost to other Wii games on average.

Either way it's pushing hardware and what's more is it's pushing software.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

We have a holiday season every year, just being a holiday doesn't suffice. Up until NSMB, almost every week was down YoY. Shortly after it's release, we're seeing massive YoY gains (and it just happens to be selling over a million every week...).

Well, my context is only the last two weeks for WW.

It would seem outside of the holiday bump that prehaps NSMBWii is giving a bump to software.

Eminently doable.

Wii would have to see a HUGE week on week drop in Americas for WW to go below 1 million for the week. It will be interesting to see how close to Earth Wii gets in the Americas.

Wii dropped in the Dec/Jan week of '08/'09 but that might have been supply issues because PS3 and 360 both saw increases that same week. High 200Ks certainly seems on the cards for Japan at least. Mid-High 300Ks for Americas will get it over the top.

Well done all those who thought Wii would do 6 weeks at >1 million, it looks like you're going to get there.

Its theoretically possible, and if it does, the meltdown will be huge, for that reason alone I want to see it happen, but heck anything over 900K will be awesome



 

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)

I don't know... maybe 50:50?

Why would there be a meltdown?

Because everybody hates Wii and wants it to fail... Duh!
