Jayzus, the math is just all wrong. Although it would be true to say that their previous production figures are 33% less than what they have now, they’ve made a 50% increase on what they had, not 33%.

ALSO! Since when is 3 x 2.4 = 10? 2.4 million consoles a month means that they’d need just over four months of production to hit 10 million.

>:( /Math fascist/

I guess. Still, it would have been a great quote. Curse you, Fils-Aime.

He’s probably right, though. The sorts of games they’ve been producing of late have been specifically designed to be played over and over. There might not be 50 hours worth of unique content, but I bet most Wii fanatics have had at least 50 hours worth of play out of stuff like Wii Sports.

Look at his quote about games being 50 hours long, there. I wanted to do another story, but he’s not being specific enough. I wish he’d said “Wii game”.

Ouch… that 3 months of production thing is just cold.

COLD I SAY.

Wait, I thought Sony weren’t their competitor?
