Posted November 23, 2006 Exactly what i believe! Everything you hear about is HD this or HD that, so most people who do not really know about technology already know about HD and as you say they will be sure that it works with their tv Saying that, and after reading up on the subject, many large companies are backing Blu-ray. HD DVD has the advantage of being cheaper and easier for manufacture, which could see a much larger take up rate by consumers. Plus, as has been said, HD DVD fits a lot better than blu-ray.

Posted November 23, 2006 fits a lot better? WTF are you on about? Consumers want neither.. they're being told they want one of these. Uptake will be shit. People can barely afford to pay for their residence.. let alone a HD TV and a HD source. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 23, 2006 Hey what happened!? Wii sales just fell from 7xx,xxx to 4xx,xxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 23, 2006 Because they were totally wrong, as there weren't that many Wiis available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 23, 2006 1,000,000 Wiis were available at launch in US, so.. You're wrong? Either that or that's launch window and I've been misinformed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 23, 2006 Yup, i am wrong. Seriously, i don't read up enough, i jsut read what other people say and believe it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 23, 2006 1,000,000 Wiis were available at launch in US, so.. You're wrong?Either that or that's launch window and I've been misinformed. I think it was over 400,000 on launch day. The sales figures shown there are more believable now. Nintendo said they are shipping 200,000 Wii's to the USA every week from now on so expect those figures to keep rising.

Posted November 23, 2006 I dont think that anyone knows the real sales figures just yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 23, 2006 Ah, right. Well, that makes sense. I always thought it was 1,000,000/400,000/400,000 for US/EU/JAP on launch day, but as I typed out the first sentence of my last post suddenly that seemed far, far too much. lol. "You're wrong" turned into a question even though it wasn't meant to be when I started typing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 23, 2006 But there are only 5 weeks till year end, so the initial sales must be above 400 000 if Nintendo are to reach 2 million by year end in America. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 23, 2006 Analysts for a respectable American business paper said they think all 1,000,000 units were sold on launch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 23, 2006 at least 1,500,000 units won't be hard by the end of the year. Firstly, it's only out in 1/3rd of the world and incredibly many are sold already. Secondly, christmas is coming up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 24, 2006 Nintendo plans to ship 4 million units to North America before years end (N. America includes Canada too). They are sending 200,000 each week to the USA. That's a million by year's end. If Canada gets the same, that's 2 mil by years end for North America. If the above is correct, that must mean 2 mil were shipped to N. America for launch day. There has been a report that in Canada the Wii sold out, and I'm pretty sure it sold out in America too. That's 2 mil already sold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 25, 2006 I can't believe that people are still quoting sales figures, it is now absolutely clear that nobody knows how many units they shipped to America!!! Just wait for the official announcement of sales figures at the end of the year, or whenever they have hit a landmark figure. Also the only place that could give us accurate sales figures this fast would be Japan, look at how fast we had the PS3 launch week multi-format sales. Stop deciding that you know how many units there are, surely when people come up with estimates of 300,000 units and another person says between 1 and 1.2 mill, it is a sign that there is confusion on this matter!!!!!
