Wii/DS quarterly sales in U.S. and Japan in 2007
Piecing together what I could from annual/quarterly reports and third party '07 total sales estimate, I've come up with these quarterly unit sales estimates for Wiis and DS in the Americas and Japan for a 'normal' 2007 fiscal year (Jan-Dec).
Americas Wii sales (10,000s)
Q1: 112
Q2: 144
Q3: 165
Q4: 209
Japan Wii sales
Q1: 86
Q2: 95
Q3: 72
Q4: 110
Americas DS sales
Q1: 156
Q2: 239
Q3: 193
Q4: 262
Japan DS sales
Q1: 160
Q2: 208
Q3: 160
Q4: 182
first half/second half comparisons:
Americas Wii sales: 256 vs. 374 (+ 46% growth)
Japan Wii sales: 181 vs. 182 (flat)
Americas DS sales: 395 vs. 455 (+ 15% growth)
Japan DS sales: 368 vs. 342 (-7% growth)
But note that my Q4 Americas estimates are based SOLELY off of U.S. unit sales estimates - does NOT factor Canada, Mexico, nor South America!!
When you consider that the the rest of the world sales are perhaps growing fastest of all, I think Nintendo is going to DESTROY estimates when they report within the next few weeks.
Luck to longs.
