Someone posts graphs last week. Wii is on track to exceed PS2 within 3-4 weeks, PS3 is on track to fall behind Cube within 2-3 weeks. (though at this point in its life Cube was hitting the December sales boom).

M-C numbers for the first 2 years of the PS2's life are hard to come by.
Compared to M-C DS data, the Wii is ~0.4m behind
Compared to Famitsu PS2 data, the Wii is ~0.1m behind. But the PS2 launched in March rather than the end of year.

No, not really. $600 ( or whatever they cost in Japan ) + sparse game library isn't the best combination. If it continues to perform poorly after the big franchises and the new IPs hit then maybe.Shanks said:
Everyone here has seen the same screens shots and the same info on upcoming PS3 games so it will be fun to see if people are still swearing Cooking Mama will set the world on fire but talking about how Lair "needs more brown" in six months or so.

And finally, Wii has a week worse than PS3 has had. If PS3 continues at this rate while Wii drops to 0, it catches up in 44 weeks.
DS is now more than 10 million ahead of PSP.
Continuing this week's sales for both systems, DS and PS2 meet up November 23, 2007 at 21,021,718 units apiece.
In 5 weeks, total hardware sales for the year have passed 2 million. In the past 4 years this has happened in the 10-12 week range.
After 10 weeks, Wii is where GCN was after 44.7 weeks, where DS was after 4.8 weeks, or where PS2 was after 8.7 weeks.

By my count that span of time gives... 969,436 Sony home consoles and 1,453,871 Nintendo home consoles. Though Sony did lead by 200,000 in the three weeks between PS3 and Wii introductions.Datschge said:
Looks like all hardware went down from last week except GBA & GBASP. Seems likely that sales will probably be about the same next week, with hopefully a boost for PS3 from VF5. Doubt many of the other consoles will see much of a boost (although DS & Wii sales seem pretty dependent on shipments, but I can't see Nintendo pushing out a huge shipment just to accomodate Cooking Mama).
I think, for the most part, hardware sales should be consistently low until the last week or so of Feb, when the big games start coming out more regularly.
Good to see Zelda, MGS
O, JUS, Excite Truck, and Etrian Odyssey hanging on in the top 50. And FFIII seems intent on coasting it's way slowly through sales. It's not selling in the top 10 every week, but it's still got impressive legs in the lower part of the chart. Any bets it'll slowly coast it's way to 2 million by the beginning of next year?

No it won't reach 2 million, but it should see a nice boost if/when the best price version of it comes out.

To expand a bit on what Datschge asked earlier, I currently can't make an online graph of "Sony consoles", but I can do Sony total.
Sony vs Wii since PS3 launch. Sony leads by about 200K.
Sony vs Wii since Wii launch. Wii leads by about 100K.
As for X360-bashing, it's the wrong time to do it. Of course Microsoft does shitty compared to Sony or Nintendo, but past that they're easily having their best period ever. In the first 5 weeks of this year MS has sold more hardware than they ever have in the entire first quarter of a year.
Week over week
GBASP: -29.2%
DSL: -24.9%
Wii: -21.5%
GBA: -17.6%
X360:-16.8%
PS2: -16.5%
PSP: -12.6%
GCN: -11.8%
PS3: -6.3%
DS: +45.1%

From a units standpoint they didn't lose much, but that's because they're tiny. From a percentage standpoint, GBASP actually had the biggest drop of any system. As long as I've gone this far, I might as well list them in order.justchris said:

Pellham said:Not really. Can you name a single DS RPG that isn't DQ or Pokemon that stayed in the top 30 for more than a month?
FFIII, Tingle RPG, Rune Factory, Children of Mana, Mario & Luigi, Mega Man Star Force (when combined)... I know Shiren was there for at least 3 weeks.

Truthfully it's not that bad a launch line up just very western-centric, which doesn't help in Japan. As for the price, well, your not gonna drive an Elise off the lot for the same price as a Miata.P90 said:

Which competitor is a Miata in that comparison? Because 360 is giving me Elise-style fun for S2000 prices.

That wasn't an attempt at humor, genius. I'm asking if you're trying to call 360 or Wii the Miata in this situation. You're implying that PS3-level games are only possible with a premium price, while the middle-ground-pricing 360 is achieving the same things.

Sales always slow down going into February in Japan so expect them to continue to drop (sometimes only slightly) w/n the next few weeks.
In contrast to the U.S. where sales almost always see an increase in February over January...
...and I've never understood why that is... Valentine's Day effect!?

We know there were shortages last week. So it's unlikely that Wii would sell less this week and not still be in shortage. Unless there were precisely 65,740 too many people looking for Wii's last week

Thank you for recognizing my brilliance.AdmiralViscen said:
Wow. It just keeps getting worse and worse for next-gen. If we don't see a marked improvement in PS3 sales for both SW and HW next week, I think we can officially confirm Japan has no interest in big expensive HD consoles. Sony has GOT to be praying for a huge Euro launch, because they ain't pushin' units anywhere else.

Aside from GTA, what's the next best selling western game(s) in Japan?

According to one source I am seeing,
Virtua Fighter 4 arrived on January 31st 2002 in Japan
as a curious piece of info, can someone with media create data provide us with the amount of units the game sold in its launch week?
I am aware that PS2 was somewhere near its second year in the market but like I said, it's only a curiosity.
thanks anyone who replies this message.
