Microsoft and Sony just shit the bed; Wii sells 721K/march

[Julius Seeker]

In first with record breaking sales, the Wii sold 721,000 units in March. The DS followed in second place with 698,000 units sold. These mark the highest sales a system has ever done in a month outside of the Holiday season: November and December. These numbers are MASSIVE, far beyond anything from March before in history.

Those Kotaku sales are only for a particular store called Messe Shop which is probably an Otaku shop =P

I don't remember anything special going down in March... what would have caused this to happen?

Shipment increase. There was a larger supply available this month for North America.

It sounds like it's a store in Akiharbara (sp?) which by defintion would make it a hardcore gamer thing.

I've never heard of the title in question and usually converted dating sim genres don't do well on the console, probably because of most of them actually suck.

Smash Brothers. 'Nuff said.

Well, that and the increase in supply

Wait to see what April and May are gonna be like with Mario Kart and Wii Fit, respectively, coming out

Supply and demand...people are still desperate to get their hands on one post Christmas.

Don't think Sony and Microsoft are shitting the bed though.

I dunno. I was at GDC for a day and wow did it smell bad by their respective zones.......although that could be because the only thing smellier than a building full of comic fans is a building full of gamers.....
