Brawl Sells 500K In Japan, Day 1

[Bulerias]

Actually, the Brawl shortage isn't linked to supply and demand... it's actually a real shortage. Nintendo just doesn't product enough units, and believe it or not, the real reason for the March 9th delay was production-related.

Is it truly THAT hard to copy a disk a couple thousand times?

I heard removing Geno was part of the delay but thats just rumor... anyway nice find Bulerias! 500K in a day! How does this compare to others?

Actually, yes. It takes a decent amount of time. I really don't think they meant for the delay to have... ulterior motives.

I read an interview recently with Iwata... apparently he was "saddened" that people actually thought the Wii shortage was fabricated.

I would be saddened that my company can't produce products at an acceptable rate.

Didn't you/someone else say that Brawl was delayed due to the release of No More Heroes and that it would be overshadowed by Brawl's epicness.

That may be me. And I said it was good for NMH, not that that was the reason.

Sale for Brawl = how many they can make =p

Completely true.

By the way, the hype for Brawl in my grade is off the charts. So you can't say Canada has "gone casual". We're on par with the US in that category, IMO.

I disagree. Many people in my area consider Wii terrible. They prefer other consoles because they have better graphics.

However, most Nintendo DS owners are casual.

Your area does not represent all of North America. No... not most DS owners are casual.

I understand that. However, I still think that Canada(as well as the US) are gone casual. It seems like hardcore games on Nintendo systems aren't that common.

HARDCORE GAMES ARENT COMMON CAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU BUY WII FIT

And people like you buy... [/quote]
Games.
For fun.
Not exercise.

Ok STORM, why weren't as much Wii systems produced because they knew the demand would be high. This holiday season, customers had even a somewhat harder time getting a Wii than last year, and was even in the head lines. In the news ads, someone sold a Wii for $550.
It sounds like Nintendo would not pull themselves out of positions for the 'thought of good karma' and be "the good guys and family company we are."

Well of course because it's already out in Japan. So they are spending all this time to make the game. =) Now if their plan was to have a shortage, they might as well release it now... but they need time to make it

See you guys! =O See! see

I think it's strange that people are arguing about Canada, while not bringing up one thing. It has the smallest population of the 3 North American countries. While I'm not going to guess about the popularity or availability of games in Mexico, you can't ignore the fact that it's population is around 3 times that of Canada's, and the US is about 10 times larger. ( https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/th...book/index.html )

That's right, no wiki for me...

Anyway, here in the US, I don't know a single person who is actually aware of Wii Fit.
However, everyone is talking about Brawl.

According to the media Wii Fit is going to be huge! But from the people who actually buy the games Brawl is going to be the big seller.

And Mexico won't buy a lot of video games because America has just about all of their citizens already.

You're right about Fit and Brawl.

But really, what I was trying to get at is that Canada makes up only 7% of the North American population, with the US making up 70%
