1@apujanata,
Well im sure that he would have lost all his DKP by now and so would not be able to drive the price anywhere ;)[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids
1@Just_Ben,
I agree that predicting 0.8 Million / month for "holiday supply stock keeping" is a little bit too much.
If August # is still 170K / week, then the possibilities (that I can think of) :
A. Wii are not sold out anymore, so it is not a matter of supply, but a matter of demand.
B. Europe's # are higher than NA.
C. Production didn't reach 2.4 Million yet in August
D. Nintendo are super cautious and really set aside 0.8 Million / month Wii unit for Nov & Dec sales (which mean it is possible for Wii to break PS2 record of 2.69 million in December, as long as the demand is there).[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids
1@apujanata,
Well they sell about 40k in japan. Lets say 170k in "Americas" and the same in Europe (that would be quite high) than we have about 380k/week. Thats about 1.6milion/month. So we are missing 0.8 Million/Month right now (If we don't see Wii sales Jump in August in NA). Thats a lot to stockpile ;)[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 112 ]bids

I have a suspicion that a significant part of those 2.4 Million production capacity are diverted for "holiday supply stock" by Nintendo for all region. They will do their best to avoid "out-of-stock" situation they suffered in 2006 and 2007.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids
1@apujanata,
Well, the 2.4 Million Units have to go somewhere ;)[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 112 ]bids
1@Heloise10,
If only Pachter is a player in simEx, we can ask him to drive up the price to 900+ for August & September, and we can get lots of profit.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

We can give Pachter special power, like "250K per day time bonus", "unlimited margin" or even "unlimited DKP". I think 250K / day time bonus should be sufficient, since Pachter are usually bullish.
Anyone else have the same wish as me ?
I just noticed that Heloise10 has a wrong spelling for Pachter's name. You should change them, Heloise10.
