Let's see. The numbers Jonnyram posted would be for the week of September 15, and the listed home consoles add up to 56.5K. Let me try equivalent weeks from Famitsu data in past years...Soule said:
2000-09-18: 52.1K
2001-09-17: 81.0K GCN's second week.
2002-09-16: 61.6K
2003-09-15: 44.3K
2004-09-13: 34.4K
2005-09-12: 25.4K
2006-09-18: 33.2K
2007-09-17: 52.7K
As it turns out, this year's home console sales are higher than most of the last decade. I'm sure if one were to do the equivalent calculations for handhelds, though, one would see 2006-2008 creaming the years before it. Consoles are just a smaller part of the whole now.

Oh, DB DS had a nice increase from the first day numbers, this bodes very well for its legs.
One Piece's second week is way above the first title's second week, that had quite some legs, this one should do a bit better even.
RT is just wow, ES not so much.
And people are spoiled by how well the portables are doing, Wii's numbers are not bad at all, considering the time of the year and the coinciding lack of software.

The DS has sold more then all handhelds + consoles combined. It's no surprise consoles are playing second fiddle.
Wow, RTG is amazing. Looks like it will be a million seller when all is said and done. Who would have thought?
Other than that, anyone know when Wii Music hits Japan? It'll be interesting to see what the reaction is from all the folks who have picked up Wii Sports, Play and Fit...

Well there is PSP-3000 incoming, that has to have some impact on PSP's sales. I do expect DS to have the biggest holiday though.Jokeropia said:

At no point did PantherLotus ever say that. jimbo quoted his 9/8-9/14 prediction, which didn't account for IU at all and was way off. You then assumed this was a prediction for 9/15-9/21. jimbo pointed out that it wasn't. Now, you're making the same mistake again.Mr Killemgood said:

Definitely I didn't expect Pokémon doing that well the second week. Probably it will require a while to sell less then 100k for week.
bcn-ron said:
That's because I needed to give Panther some ammo to get me back for calling him out and pulled a 360 number out of my ass(halfway between last week's numbers and his prediction)
Secretly I thought he was pretty dead on this past week and he can be when he doesn't have the attitude of the 360 will continue to suck and actually takes a good educated shot at predicting sales for it, like he did for this week
Anyway, will wait for MC numbers, and I am more curious to see where 360 sales will fall next week because these numbers include an apparent shortage of SKU. We won't know for sure until next week's numbers.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Havent noticed, is Fatal Frame still in top 50? Is it the #1 selling in the series yet?
Paracelsus said:
Actually none of that is normal. There was a shortage after Vesperia, which led up to IU(and that probably wasn't the main reason for the spike anyway, it was the price drop and the previous shortage)
And this week apparently had SKU shortages as well. So, so far none of it was normal. And neither is outselling the PS3 for 2 weeks in a row.
Besides, the normal according to you and a couple of other people in this forum is 3k a week. So it's actually quite higher than "that normal".
I expect it to outsell the PS3 again next week.

This is what I want to know as well. I guess we will find out next week but I hoped someone would give us a heads-up.

DS, Wii and PSP did exactly like last week (rounded 63k, 27k and 26k). I think that unless Nintendo surprises us with some hardware news in the forthcoming event, the only thing worth looking forward hardware-wise this year end will be PSP new model. PSP 1000 sold 6m in a little less than 3 years meanwhile PSP 2000 has sold a little bit more than 4m in one year. It'll be difficult to see any trends with all the launch fuzz, big games and Christmas though. Although as every launch, it'll be interesting to see how much can Sony supply if needed, if the old base will be upgrading for a second or third time and such.
Also nice debut for Hitman PSP which we didn't get first day sales (and basically I don't think anyone here gives a shit about such game), so it surprised me to see its 24k which is among the best debuts for the franchise (DS has at least 6 Hitman games going by garaph, best first week being 28k from a game two months ago). Very nice DB DS numbers too.

Seems Amazon Japan are out of stock on a few of the models, but I have no idea what things are like overall there. You wouldn't think it would be so difficult to ship in a hundred thousand or so.Quazar said:

This was an interesting development. jimbo can I count on you to quote my prediction or should we wait until the MC numbers release?

justchris said:You were totally wrong on the PSP though (going by Famitsu at least). You called 33k and it only did 26k.
Well, for certain definitions of 'totally', anyway.

Pokemon Diamond will probably pass Monster Hunter Portable 2G at some point, but not before December 31st. With a holiday boost, MHP2G could be close to 2.6M by the end of the year (bare minimum is 2.5M). Pokemon would have to average over 100k a week for the rest of the year to match that. I can see Pokemon having a few 100k weeks in December, but it is going to drop below 50k by late October/early November.

As of the latest official Famitsu numbers, it's still #3, but less than 6K behind number 1. I don't think it makes the next Top 30, so it may be a while before we see if it's become #1.John Harker said:
