This could be just a lull brought on by the economy, or simply the fact that the Wii is in stock everywhere. People used to have to search for one, and if they found one, they felt even more compelled to buy it. Now, you see piles of them, so people think "well, I don't have to get one right now, I'll wait 'til later, since there's so many of them."]]>Apr 17th 2009 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/Apr 17th 2009 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/Apr 17th 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/
I've worked at a relatively large Target over the last few years, and I've seen it go from "sell out in the first 15 minutes" to "sell out that day" to "sell out that week." And I went back to work there over spring break and the fact that we had it in stock the entire week was no big deal. Still had a few ask about Wii Fit, but we still had plenty of Wii's in stock and no one calling anymore.]]>Apr 17th 2009 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/Apr 17th 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/
Still, my prediction towards a new color/s this year is right on track. Price cuts, if any, only come after Nintendo shoots their systems into a rainbow. Sometimes the rainbow explodes raining many pretty colors, and sometimes it only chips giving you indigo....

those 26% are most likely not from new customers. most likely are from existing customer base that get a hardware failure and its cheaper to buy one instead of fixing it.]]>Apr 17th 2009 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/Apr 17th 2009 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/Apr 17th 2009 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/Apr 17th 2009 9:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/Apr 17th 2009 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/Apr 17th 2009 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/Apr 19th 2009 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/Apr 17th 2009 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/]]>Apr 17th 2009 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/Apr 17th 2009 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/your comment does not even apply to the reigning champions of the video game console markets behemoth PS2 which has sold almost three times as much as the Wii.
Regardless unlike M$ Nintendo has not dropped their prices to the absolute floor so they have LOTS of room for sales in the future. But at the same time i dont think it will have the same affect's as the Xbox price drop as the Wii is already reasonably cheap and a lot of adults (people with cash) make up the console's market.... either way i reckon well find out by the end of this year if this thing will make 100 million in the future or not (as by then there should be price drops) and also how soon the next Wii will be coming out based on the same data.

Regardless, am still waiting on the PS3 price drop tho....

The sales figures are phenomenal. Coupled with the fact that most of those are first time buys, and not replacements for broken consoles, I really don't think anyone needs two or three wiis for their household either.

I'm a huge Nintendo kid... but they really need to have their tyres deflated :( Lately all they do is disappoint. I've already lost sega. I don't need this kind of abuse... ;)]]>Apr 17th 2009 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/Apr 17th 2009 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/17/nintendo-shares-fall-after-surprising-drop-in-wii-demand/
