The Wii is up YOY for the first three weeks. The report was in the last week of October, so October 2011 is obviously up YOY compared to 2010.

Yeah. And the Wii did 232k in October 2010.

So to be consistent with Pachter's prediction as well as what Iwata said, the Wii would have had to sell almost 0 units in the fourth week of October.

For pachter to be correct the wii would have to sell -50k in the last week. I guess its possible for 50k people to return their wiis.

Some notes from Nintendo's October NPD press release:

Nintendo 3DS Poised to Surpass First-Year Sales of Nintendo DS

In its eighth month on the market, the Nintendo 3DS™ system crossed 1.65 million units sold in the U.S., according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. This milestone puts the platform on track to surpass the first-year total of Nintendo DS™, the best-selling game platform in U.S. history.

The Nintendo DS system sold 2.37 million units in its first 12 months (November 2004-October 2005), with approximately 50 percent of those sales occurring in the holiday time frame. With its first holiday season and the launches of the Super Mario 3D Land™ and Mario Kart™ 7 games on the horizon, Nintendo 3DS is poised to eclipse that number and establish a new benchmark for hand-held gaming launches in the United States.

  • Nintendo sold more than 675,000 combined hardware units in October. This includes more than 250,000 units of Nintendo 3DS, nearly 250,000 Wii™ systems and nearly 180,000 units of the Nintendo DS family of systems.
  • For the year, Nintendo has sold a combined 7 million hardware units and more than 55 million units of software have been sold for Nintendo platforms. Both of these numbers should increase with the Nov. 20 launch of The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword for Wii.
  • Both Wii, up 8 percent year over year, and Nintendo DS, up 23 percent over the previous month, demonstrated strong momentum heading into their respective sixth and eighth holiday seasons. In total, the two platforms have sold more than 87 million combined hardware units and more than 540 million combined units of software in the United States.

This delay confused everyone.

MS is still not boasting about being no. 1 and Nintendo put their PR one hour earlier.

Any reason they're coming out on a Friday this month instead of the standard Thursday? (Reads up... ah, I guess one wasn't provided.)

Conspiracy theorist says they delayed it because it's going to be a bad month and it's always best to release bad news after the business week is over on the east coast.
