Canadian hardware NPD- Wii sells + 50K

I think predictions should be cut off if they aren't already.

Could we possibly see a 500K Wii month? I doubt it, as Canada just seems to be going bat shit insane for the thing.

Edit- someone last month had the usual Canadian percentage of U.S sales- anyone remember what that was? I want to say 12-13 percent.

360 doubled PS3 sales and still got trounced by the Wii.

Also, while Canada typically represents 9-11 percent, I doubt we'll see a direct translation with these numbers. Us Canadians have wholly embraced the Wii even over the DS, America has yet to do that.

I really see no way that the Wii can not be #1 this gen.

Using the rule of 10, that's 530k in the States. Given that Canada is Nintendoland (and going on my own memory of previous numbers), if we assume 7-8%, that's still 370k-420k.

Shocked to see the Wii outselling even the DS... I knew this thing was gonna be big as soon as they showed the Wiimote, yet nobody on here wanted to believe.

How can we embrace the Wii when we can't find them?

I only got mine through a ridiculous bundle.

Edit: There are more Wiis/We's in my response than I've ever seen in person.

What's even more amazing to me- 360 and PS3 basically sold the exact same despite having one week more to sell.

Ok, so last month, Canadian sales were about 11.5 percent of U.S sales..so if that did hold true this month, that would equal about 465K U.S sales?

Batteries the CRISIS!
All the Sony hardware combined doesn't even equal the DS's sales (45.5K vs. 46K), let alone Wii's. This is insane

I think it's all but garunteed that the Wii will sell AT LEAST 400k for June.

Remember, this is a 5 week sales period, and May numbers were a 4 week sales period, to put this in perspective.

Oh definitely- they have been doing about 85K a week, so it should be at least 410K..but these numbers suggest it might go higher.

This will hopefully be the last month the PS3 will have to go through these craptastic sales.

The Wii/DS sales are unbelieveable in Canada.

PS3 flat despite the extra week - another month of under 100k in the US? (Probably the last one, as well.) 360 weekly sales continue to drop as well, which will make four straight months of declines if the US follows this trend. Wii is just a beast, and it looks like weekly shipments are up as well. NPD is going to be huge on Monday.

Even if it picks up another 50-75k a month, it's still sort of craptastic. Same for Microsoft. Nintendo's just slayin' em.

Yeah I noted that as well. Not a good trend at all. I think the PS3 price cut will help a bit, but it needs more than helping a bit. Microsoft might want to really consider a drop as well. Think they'll wait until after Halo 3?

This is doubting. They'll get a small uptick from the price cut, but $499 isn't going to get them anywhere near what they would like to be.
