“Wii shipments have increased significantly since September, and we expect higher year-over-year shipments to continue through mid-2009. We expect Wii hardware supply and demand finally to balance by March or April. …Combined console and handheld hardware unit sales were up 30 percent year-over-year with almost 2 million hardware units sold in the month, giving us confidence that strong software performance is sustainable well into 2009.” – Wedbush Morgan analyst, Michael Pachter
