Pachter: Wii sales up 100pc, 360 up, PS3 down
Pachter: Wii sales up 100pc, 360 up, PS3 down
Vg247 - January 5, 2009

“I haven’t done the work for NPD yet, but my guess is that 360 sales were flat or up a little, PS3 sales down a little, and Wii sales up more than 100%,” said Pachter.
“That would end up around 1.2 - 1.3 million 360s, around 700,000 PS3s and around 3 million (or more) Wiis.”
Pachter went on to say that his official estimates would be released early next week.

I think Zukaus are the one driving up the price today. All in all, there are about 4 Million DKP he purchased within 30 minutes.
Zukaus,
I had 10 Million DKP shorted already in this stock. If you wanted to buy more, I am willing to setup up those short order at higher price (to minimize my risk, and compensate for the short order I sacrificed (removed / cancelled) at other places).[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

I could do with some of my margin being released as well. The 10 million I've got invested has destroyed my short margin down to 3-4million and so I'm not putting downward pressue on many stocks and they are starting to gain a little causing me further losses, should be able to make a decent profit knocking them back down though. :-)[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids

My networth is also jumping up and down, but it is not caused by this stock. It was caused by Diablo 3 PC GLS, which is also going up and down quite severely every day. At least, you will be released from this pain in 7 days, while I will have to endure it until Diablo 3 (whenever that will be).
Luckily, my networth are significantly above rank 5 (6 million above), so 500K DKP loss/day didn't drop my rank (unlike you, which are quite close with Lithium)[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

Well there is at least one player pushing the stock up and someone else is pushing it down. My networth is all over the place at the moment.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids

Yes, it is Jan 15th. I now have 11K short stocks, still quite far from your 41K long :D.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

So you are the source of those 230 DKP stocks I shorted. If only I knew that Pacther would predict 3 Million and drive up the stock price, I would have waited at 2.5 Million, to have more buffer. :(
I took a big loss today, and hope to recover it NPD day.

I still have buying power left, have probably enough cash to hit the 35% limit which is another 6million or so but I'm not willing to buy at 255dkp. I was happy at 230 as that left a big margin and so reducing the risk, at 255 it's just not worth it, especially as I have so much invested already. The gambler inside me says take it but I've been doing far too much of that recently so I'm going to stop and play it safe.
I assume you sold stock to someone at the 255, 260, 265 price points then, it wasn't me so maybe someone else is prepared to pay that price and will take you up on the offer. :-)[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids

Yes, I am hoping that Patcher is seriously off about the Wii number. If I am right, I am going to win big. If Pachter is right, I am going to lose some money (500K DKP currently, should probably go up if more people take up my sell order at higher price).[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

Do you still have buying power left ? If yes, I have lots of stock I am willing to sell for you at 255 DKP price point (if you willing to go higher, I am willing to set up those selling order :D).
That was me at 255.71, 260 and 265.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

Well I'm hoping he's right as the guy buying at 230 dkp was me so now I have 41,000 stock invested which at an average price of 235 is about 9mil. Im thinking it will be close to 3mil if not a little bit more, i think Nintendo really stockpiled and sorted out their supply problems this year as Wii has been readily available and i believe the demand is still there. So if it does hit 3mil that's a bit over 3 mil profit for me :-).[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids

Yup! Though 100% YoY is actually roughly 2.7m now I looked at it so I wouldn't make a loss or a profit.
Pachter blows hot and cold on the Wii, I'm hoping his December prediction is an over-reaction to November rather than him understating it![ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 291 ]bids

Well I got the price up to 3.17m from 2.5ish or so just now bailing out on my short.
I actually have an inkling the analysts are wrong but it's not worth the risk so I covered as much as I could just now.
I might re-short at 3.2m but I'm getting out first before re-evaluating. Will be about 1m down all told I reckon.
