A Bit Down vs. ’09, But Not Out
Indirectly, this stands to be good news for Sonic Colors. Nintendo today released a statement citing internal sales estimates that claim, combined, the company sold 1.5 million consoles last week, which included the Black Friday shopping day.
Wii sales were up slightly versus last year, while DS sales were down. Some 600,000 Wii units moved off store shelves last week, while 900,000 DS branded consoles were sold, says Nintendo.
Bundles are cited as the principal reason for such success. With such a surge, the trickle-down reward on Colors stands to be significant, so be on the lookout for those domestic sales estimates at the end of this week or the beginning of next week. Microsoft and Sony have not released sales estimates from last week yet, but from the looks of things, they have a high bar to beat with Kinect and Move, respectively.

I’m still planning on getting Colors. I just can’t afford the $40-$50 dollar price tag atm. Free Riders? I’d need to buy a 360, a Kinect, and the game. I don’t even want a 360. (PS3 is a different story, though…)
I’m really really considering buying a Wii and Colors insted of gettting Kinect and Free Riders… stil don’t know what to do

Buy a Wii.
Get Sonic Colors, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 and Kirby’s Epic Yarn.
Then when next year rolls around you can enjoy some Skyward Sword.
I’m going to buy a Wii only for Sonic games and Kirby the other games sucks!

I played the “fantastic” S Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 and was so boring ¬¬
maybe Epic Kirby or Epic Mickey or Epic things will be a better game…
Man i’m glad to be a Sonic Fan
I seriously can’t understand this.
“A Bit Down vs. ’09, But Not Out”
Well, Nintendo Wii sold like pure candy and LOTS of people have now a Wii.
Does Nintendo expect to reach EVERY home in the world?
A bit down… hell yeah, a bit down means TOO MUCH considering they sold a lot.
Miyamoto must be swimming in his pool of $’s while drinking expensive whine on his golden cup.
cmon announce a Wii HD already lol
^Their next system should have an upscaler built in, but an HD Wii by itself would be so pointless. Stop asking.
