Pat called me gay a while ago, so I endorsed it with this video.

And I would have let it die, but I like it when people reference old conversations…

Chose the video that didn’t make the songs subtext vague.

It was difficult choice between this and Chaka Demus and Pliers.

It was more their entire financial report than just that one figure. There’s a world of difference between theirs and Sony’s for instance.

“Yeah, I really, really hate how Nintendo presents their figures. All over the place.”

Could be that you are just an uneducated westener demanding that the entire world do things your way.

I know that the chinese have a unit that is 10 000. So for them saying twohundredthousand is as conusing as them saying twentytenthousands to us. Since the Japanese have stolen most of their language and culture from China there might be a possablility that they also do things in tens of thousands.

The other thing to note is that Nintendo is still making a profit on every Wii sold. While its profits have been seriously hit, it won’t be panic stations just yet. And everyone’s feeling the pinch at the moment. What will probably be of greater concern is that Nintendo hasn’t really found the new Wii Fit or Brain Training yet. Everything since has failed to recapture that kind of impact – Wii Music didn’t do it, and Animal Crossing Wii was far less popular than the DS version. The previous year, Wii Fit was boosting Wii sales to artificially high figures, hence the vast difference.

While DS has only had a relatively small drop, I’ll be interested to see its momentum in the next two quarters given the rise of the iPhone as a genuine gaming alternative. I don’t think the PSPGo will impact DS sales, but Apple’s device might.

“Wii+ / WiiHD next year earlier than planned?”

The only reason they’d do it so early is if they wanted to maintain their sales advantage… so maybe. No real need to until the Wii drops to PS3 / 360 sales levels though.

I’m not surprised Wii sales have declined, I’m surprised Nintendo haven’t yet and don’t appear to be doing anything about it.

Wii Sports Resort is going to sell tons but surely it’s ability to push hardware is only incrementally higher than the original Wii Sports.

Blimey, Wii sales really fell apart comparatively speaking. If they weren’t still kicking the shit out of everyone else they might actually be concerned.

That would make more sense

I cant access Nintendo’s site at work but 2.23m Wii’s v 1.1m PS3′s sounds more like it.

You’re reading the financials incorrectly Pat (I don’t blame you, they’re a nightmare, worst in the business).

The shipments are in 10s of thousands. So…

Wii = 223 x 10000 = 2.23m
DS = 597 x 10000 = 5.97m

So this story after the Sony sales crash story – but what about Microsoft?

By: Patrick Garratt

Patrick Garratt — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 09:18:18 +0000

Is it global. If you look at the full thing, it breaks the sales down by territory on page nine. Basically, Wii and DS sales have almost stopped in Japan.
