Forums - Sales Discussion - Analyst NPD Preview: Nintendo Owns December

You're putting me on.

That is an extremely bold prediction, that Pachter just made. The Wii outselling the HD consoles in December? Unprecedented.

Didn't that happen last year?



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Yes, and I bet he boldly predicted it then, too.

Since Nintendo have deprived him of his Wii HD for so long, I do hope it hurt him quite a great deal to have to make a prediction like this.



360 and ps3 PWNED as usual.

in other news, the sun rose from the east again today....

LoL. Yeah, he sure puts his credibility on the line with predictions like this.

Didn't Pachter predict that as well? Wow, he's good. I'm going to ask him what last week's lottery numbers were.

Mr. Walton says he intends to do it before Thursday...

That seems pretty low for the 360 and the ps3.

In november, for 4 weeks, we have 810k 360 and 710k PS3 (NPD numbers)

202k per week for the 360, for 5 weeks we have 1.010K

177k per week for the PS3, for 5 week we have 890k.

Only 300k and 215k boost for december is not that high.
