Analyst: Christmas Wii sales “up more than 100%”
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Christmas Wii sales are expected to be “up more than 100%” according to Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter. Patcher said, “I haven’t done the work for NPD yet, but my guess is that 360 sales were flat or up a little, PS3 sales down a little, and Wii sales up more than 100%. That would end up around 1.2 – 1.3 million 360s, around 700,000 PS3s and around 3 million (or more) Wiis.”
Official estimates from Patcher should be released early next week. The NPD sales numbers for December will be revealed on January 15.

Capcom hopes to surprise gamers soon
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
“2009 will also see Resident Evil 5 finally released, and it’ll also then see us on to our next step. We haven’t shown what Capcom has in store for 2009 yet, so I hope we can surprise you all soon.” – Jun Takeuchi, producer of Resident Evil 5
Capcom’s Christian Svensson stated not too long ago that the company has some tricks up their sleeves for 2009…And then Monster Hunter G was revealed. I’m not entirely sure if Takeuchi is referring to the Wii when he mentions that he hopes Capcom can surprise us, but it is possible.
