Japanese Chart for Week Ending 01st April 2007

[QUOTE="MasterChumly"]

[QUOTE="rexoverbey"][QUOTE="axt113"][QUOTE="rexoverbey"]Wii down 38% I guess Japan won't be carrying Wii much longer. At that rate it is only selling 200,000 a month. Considering the US sales were over double that last month. I have a feeling we will see Wii sales drop in the US NPD numbers also.rexoverbey

Wow go over to the neogaf forums and they will rip you apart.  The Wii is 100% sold out in Japan.  Due to shipment patterns the wii is on a cycle.  It rotates from around 50-60k to 70-80 k every week. 

:lol: at you thinking they are holding back consoles.  It's already been said that the gamestop CEO said that because he was begging for more consoles.  You cant exactly up production as fast as you would like.  Go take an economics clas s and maybe you would understand. 

Another week where Wii tripled PS3's sales, which happens quite often. I can't imagine the difference between them when Brain Training and Super Paper Mario are released later this month.wiialltheway

Nintendo needs to stop purposely cutting supply short in an attempt to keep demand up, release as many as you can now while people still want them and then release Super Mario Galaxy Christmas and you are set till Zelda in late 2008.

They could easily produce 1 million wiis a week if they wanted too because the hardware is inexpensive and easily available.

..............I cannot believe you just said that.

Go do some research and come back with a better answer.  To "up" production you have to build more plants which cost up to 1 billion dollars.

Whatever, I own a wii, I am not trying to bash it, but I know Nintendo can produce more wiis if they wanted to...anyway it really does not matter, I just want Smash Bros.

The only point im trying to make is you dont understand how "upping" the production works.  You have to BUILD ANOTHER PLANT which costs money...alot of money.  they make 1 million a week and saturate the market with 50 million Wiis what are they going to do with their 10 billion dollars worth of production plants.   Nintendo is trying to find a happy mediun in which they can produce Wiis.  Its not nearly as "easy" as you think it is.

Wow, the Xbox 360 just murdered the Gamecube and sold over twice as many as the Game Boy Advance.  Take that 7 year old technology!

Xbox360 > Gamecube

Some say this day would never come, what are they to say now?

 3,200 360's?!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I was clearly making a point. I know these are JA figures. If yer gonna bash PS3 sales, then I'm going to bash 360 sales. Simple as that.
