Well, 35k Zeldas out of 85k Wiis at least makes me a bit more optomistic.

Your forgetting the 210,000 that bought it last week and might have decide to get zelda. So of 285,000 Wii owners without Zelda 35,000 got it this week.

 

[Krowley]

Wii only had 100,000 in the new shipments. How are you supposed to flop when you sold 85% of what was available?? :lol

apprently they didn't even get 100k out, because i gaurentee they soldout of every unit that made it to store shelves.

they're just shipping less than planned and it is a bit disapointing because they should be able to get them out faster than that.

 

[Barf_the_Mog]

Attention J-GAFers

How are the Wii supplies in Japan right now? Are last weeks Wii sales (in relation to our expectations) low because of supply constraints or are you seeing stacks and stacks of Wii units sitting in store shelves?

 

[Y2Kev]

Wii: 435,797
PS3: 238,007
360: 215,477

So close.

Wiis are not sitting around in stacks. :lol

I guess Blue Dragon also bombed as well then.

How little YOU know! This is how it works:

Wii actually sells software with its hardware = MASSIVE FLOPPAGE.

Xbox 360 has one Japanese orientated game = Xbox 360 success in Japan! (After that one JRPG, Xbox 360 can now go back to making violent shooter after violent shooter)

PS3 and PSP sell no software in top 30 = OMG, INEVITABLE DOMINATION!! (Selling software with hardware is so last generation).

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Go DS!

Wii shipments piss me off

Go PS3!

 

[Dante]

PS3 selling without any games

Can't wait to see the spike when Ac and VF5 are released.

 

[cvxfreak]

If Nintendo can get a 350K Wii shipment out there during a week, and a 650K DSL shipment, then they can sell over a million units of hardware in a week.

That's what they're going for! :lol

 

[FateBreaker]

Doctor! The patient is showing signs of life!

that was awesome.

 

[Error]

jesus holy christ at the DS. that's without any notable huge release. wtf just wtf?

 

[starship]

DS was expectable.
Wii sales are lower than what I thought.
X360 did very well considering its sales in the past, but I expect a huge drop next week even though traditionaly next week is bigger.
Others, meh.

 

[Snaku]

jesus holy christ at the DS. that's without any notable huge release. wtf just wtf?

And before the DQIX announcement. :lol

 

[fresquito]

jesus holy christ at the DS. that's without any notable huge release. wtf just wtf?

Seeing the numbers from last year, it isn't that surprising. I'd even say that demand is higher than offer.

There are probably stacks and stacks of Wiis in every store in Japan, enough to reach the heavens and then some! There, are you at peace now?

Someone in Japan might know DQIX announcement before Iwata did.

The long legsssss of DS games can drive the sales alone...

 

[Y2Kev]

DQIX will have little impact. Nintendo has a set shipment allotment of 1.5 million. I believe that's the number that has been reported.

So while people might be going crazy for DQIX, people won't be able to buy as many as they might want to.

 

[Deleted member 13414]

Thats good sales for the 360 isnt their a rumor that SE is developing 2 new xbox 360 games?

 

[kisakiproject]

Nintendo needs to ship 200k Wiis next week along with Battle Revolution.

@360 next week has 4 releases, vortexx, EDF5, PSU and WE. First day sales will show if any of this 360 momentum has carried into next week. I expect the week after that w/LP and some other small titles though sonic should do decently to be the biggest besides BD week.

if those DS sales are expectable to you... hm yeah WOW. I mean, 300k a week where there wasnt a single decent game (could be wrong) released for the system is VERY impressive. who the **** is buying this system anyway? at this rate seems like everyone in japan will eventually have one.

And you have to remember, you aint cool unless you have at least two DS's on you at all times.

 

[Busaiku]

How many Playstation 3 systems were shipped last week?

 

[Yamauchi]

Yeah, the Wii attach rate increased significantly this week. Also, if Wiis are sitting around on shelves in Japan, the people who are buying it for $400 online at Amazon JP and Yahoo Auctions are getting ripped off.

 

[ZeoVGM]

How many Playstation 3 systems were shipped last week?

400k

 

[dirtmonkey37]

Well anyways, with Lost Planet out next week, I hope the 360 sales do stay constant and with Blue Dragon still being widely available....Why did all those people line up when they could have clearly just popped in in the afternoon to buy BD?

Do you remember last Dec? With such a high demand for DS, its not that surprising to see these types of numbers even in a non holiday week.
Also JUS, Love & Berry, General Knowledge Training, Kirby, Pokemon and even NSMB are the games that most likely push the hardware at this point.

 

[apujanata]

01. DSL 309,630 (+ 75,0%)
02. Wii 85,439 (- 75,6%)

05. PS2 30,460 (+ 31,8%)
06. PSP 28,930 (+ 21,0%)

[fanboy mode] Wow, if PS3 can keep up their upward trend (aka doubling their sales every two week), they will be able to beat PS2 sales of 20 Million in no time at all.[/fanboy mode]

Any news regarding availability of Wii in Japan ? If it is easy to find Wii in Japan, then Wii's future is not good.

 

[Tadaima]

Because Japanese people like lining up for stuff. It's almost as big as bug collecting and taking photos of yourself decorated with tiny bits of artwork.

 

[Taurus]

I'm very curious to know why Wii sales are so low. :O

Shipping problems or what? Even with problems they should definitely do better than 85k...

 

[Ra\/en]

Why are the HW numbers not on the front page?

Ruh-roh, PS3 sales doubled, Sony fans are smelling blood for the first time in a year. rolleyes.gif

BTW these threads have become boring ever since I stopped tracking the HW numbers. Maybe I should start again.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

I had predicted that due to limited DS supply and two hot new consoles, from the week after Wii launch until the end of the year there would be no proper overall Pac-Man charts. I was wrong.

http://joshuajamesslone.name/gamecharting/pacchartweekly.php?date1=2006-12-04

If Wii stops selling, and PS3 continues at this rate, it catches up to Wii on January 6 of next year. Those DS numbers are big, but they're about the same as this week last year (299,328); we've reached a year since the real DS explosion.

The 360 just increased its installed base in Japan by twenty percent in one week.

Sure, and Wii just increased its by 24% and PS3 by 27%. (Of course I am kidding and know why it's a bigger deal for X360.)

Thanks cvx, I dig the lower down numbers, gives one a sense of perspective. Apparently some of the third party Wii games didn't bomb terribly, good news.

What do the third set of numbers represent?

 

[cvxfreak]

Because cvxfreak is too damn lazy.

Now who's lazy?

For the sake of completeness, can someone post YTD and LTD for each system to go on the first post?

That's freaking hillarious!

As far as the PS3 numbers, good to see it go up, but the only thing we can celebrate is that Sony is shipping more units.

And did Nintendo ship less than 100k units? It would look pretty bad not selling out in week 2.

Wow, that's a huge difference from Media Create's numbers. They have RgG at 293k and Blue Dragon at 62k w/bundle and mention that they tracked about 16k bundle sales.

It happens to everyone. PS3 didn't sell out week 2 either.

I've always wondered why there's such a big difference between Media Create, Dengeki and Famitsu. Does anyone know?

Was that ever really confirmed though?
