 I think this is possible - Iwata always mentions at Nintendo's briefings that NPD months are sometimes four weeks, sometimes five weeks. Maybe he forgets which is which sometimes?

You made a decent case up until this point. I don't see him making such a major gaffe, not without issuing a correction shortly thereafter.

Maybe there's a typo where it should be a 2 instead a 3?

I'm surprised people aren't chiming in here haha. Last year, all people could talk about is Wii potentially beating that PS2 2.7 million home console record. But shortages caused it to miss it. This year, it crushed it haha. I'd say that's a pretty big deal haha.

The thing I remember, is this year everyone was saying it wouldn't break last years total sales. I don't remember what I had it at, but I think I had it at a near tie. Some were expecting a lot lower sales. I honestly don't think anyone in their right mind expected a 3.8m sales from NPD.

Sometimes you need somebody who isn't in his right mind.

Sometimes you need John Lucas.

Then again, Wii ltd sales are now 5 million ahead of what JL predicted. For the end of 2008... And everything else he's said has pretty much not come to fruition or was general and broad enough to sink inbetween the cushions (like Nostradamus' quatrine's).

Very well done. Where are all the guys arguing Wii would need a price cut in 2009?

Price cuts wont happen soon....

considering the marketing muscle super smash bros wii had.

makes wonder what numbers would LBP do if it was marketed like it.

with more focus on playing together rather the level creation that put many people off.

though many of this sales it's thanks more to wii fit plus and wii sport 2
