Reggie predicts Wii to sell 1 million units by December

[kenn]

The 4 million number includes all units shipped to retailers whether they are sold or not...so if there are one million in homes, there will be another 3 million in stores and warehouses waiting to be sold or go onto shelves.

I don't buy that at all. If there were 3 million unsold units floating around, they would be GONE as every retailer has bare shelves and can sell every unit they can get their hands on. For Nintendo to state 1 million sold through december is quite intriguing. I can assure you that if they have 3 million in stores and warehouses that are unsold, Nintendo is in serious financial trouble. Again, something doesn't add up...

I've noticed that xbox 360's "market share" bar is slowly getting smaller haha.

Duno if anyone posted this but he also stated 2 million by the 2nd week of january :O

I don't doubt that... the release in UK and Japan will spark huge ammounts of Wiis being sold.

I do agre with U, only time will tell.

But I do believe that the choice of hitting the US before Japan, their home ground was a good a** plan to get the buzz on. I mean, once it comes out in Japan, I do expect a massive figure once again (the 400.000 units should go in a snap).

After that, no need for massive promotion on TV for the European release, the gosssip should do most of the work... :cornut:
