What a depressing state. The mighty Nintendo Wii’s sales numbers have fallen alongside everyone else’s. With these kinds of numbers, I wonder if Nintendo is even worried. 250, 000 isn’t terrible compared to the competition and they’re still making mad profit off every unit sold.

Wii Sports Resort’s #1 spot isn’t a surprise. In fact, everything except Fight Night Round 4’s appearance isn’t much of a surprise. I honestly didn’t think it would chart as high as it did after seeing the UFC Undisputed sales figures for the Xbox 360.

With such slow sales, hopefully things will pick up after the rumored price cuts start to hit. I’m optimistic, but not everyone shares my view.
