Wii Falls Behind 2007 Totals By Five Hundred Eighty Thousand Units

12/6/08
Japan - As 2008 comes to a close, Nintendo is looking to answer where exactly the Wii is at in terms of its future and current momentum. The Wii has currently sold more than half a million fewer consoles in 2008 than it did in 2007 (see: chart), and even more concerning, the holiday push of Animal Crossing: City Folk and Wii Music seems to have a dampened effect compared to Wii Fit in the same period.
