Thanks for the charts donny, they're well appreciated! I hope you want to continue to maintain these for the next gen, they prove to be interesting to watch develope.
Didn't Nintendo promise 1.5 million DSL for the end of the year or did I misread that? If so, could they be saving them for one big push? (to coincide with last years huge spike)
Sony really needs to get a big week, it's been a long while. Shocked at the drop off for Blue Dragon, I really thought that maybe (just maybe) it'd have some legs for the top 30. But at least 360 is selling much better than it did, could that only be because of BD bundles??

December 10th: 49.12% ( +0.21% )
December 17th: 50.21% ( +1.09% )I didn't do one for the PSP v DS, but that's getting pretty out of hand. It might be fun though.

Things of note:
Wii has now sold more than GCN has in the last two years.
If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this rate, it would catch up January 9 of next year.
DSL is down from last year, when over 400K were sold. Supply, I assume. The following week was the big 598K, so I don't expect that one to be equaled either.

I won't bother with listing weekly changes, but as of now the total is 75.5% DS, 24.5% PSP.PantherLotus said:

Well, this thread got big while I was gone.
Hardware is pretty expected all around. Only thing of note to me is that the 360 is rather increased from what I expected - but then again, it's the holiday season.

This time last year DS sales exploded, but since there were no shortages there were already a ton of units sitting in at retail in addition to the shipped units for those weeks. (Note that after the Christmas period, the DS had its lowest sales ever at ~10,500 units.)
This holiday season (actually, for almost the entire year) DS sells exactly what Nintendo can ship every week. I don't think Nintendo is capable of shipping 400-600k units per week to Japan, so I doubt we will see weekly sales match last year.

sony-tards, x-bots, n-kids, whatever. everyone acts like an idiot when things are not positive for them. that's true for people like you who claim to have no allegiance. we can all see that when you are clearly incapable of conducting yourself in a beneficial way to the members of the community. if that's the case, then please log off and spend some time talking to people in the real world so you can learn how.
if people don't understand your point. just stop arguing. you won't be getting a trophy tomorrow for wnning a stupid message board flame war.

I initially started my Media Create tracking due to the interesting DS/PSP launches, so it was with some deja vu that I copied the old DS/PSP comparison columns and turned them into Wii/PS3 comparison columns.(And the "If DS stopped selling" stat for PSP this week is... June 28, 2010.)
Thanks.moku said:

Well first of all, being an economist I agree with you in theory. I don't think anyone is saying that having non-games is a BAD thing, I think the concern is primarily around diverting significant resources for the next 5-6 years because non-games are doing so well and "games" (as defined by the NeoGAF community I suppose) are bombing left and right.
This will have a fundamental impact on our experience as gamers for the next several years even despite the long-term ramifications. Moreover, one has to consider the proposition that given a situation where non-gamers are dominating the demand segment, hardcore gamers may end up being alienated and leave the hobby thus putting the activity back into the situation it started.
Again I'm not saying what you are saying isn't true, and I am the biggest advocate of "non-games" - but I do have to say that the gaming industry is known for jumping onto fads and sticking them out without considering the specifics of the market.
For instance, last generation, consider how many crappy FPS games came out. Infact many companies were changing their games to FPS just to have an entry in the genre (everyone was following up on the success of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark from the previous generation and trying to mimick the success of Halo), when there was absolutely no need and it probably turned off a whole bunch of gamers.
Now consider when everyone starts making brain-trainers, rhythm games, etc. etc. to capitalize on where they believe the demand really exists. I think it will create an equally miserable situation to when hardcore gamers were satisfied with the 31st FPS game in 3 years. Except in this situation, the losers (hardcore gamers) will be bitching all over the internet forums.

Considering what the PSP sold at this time last year, I wouldn't really call it big.

If I can make a small suggestion/ask a favor, would it be possible to make the black lines that correspond to the weeks labeled on the graph longer? It'd make it possible to know what weeks the labels are for. it's kinda hard to tell as is.

Well, it's still down 43% over last year. If the next few weeks compare similarly, they'll be something like... 92K, 63K, 76K before dropping down. You're right that blue should have an effect, though.jj984jj said:Did anybody notice how big a week PSP is having this week? With the New Year rush it might actually do well.

Hmm. Looking at this stuff now just made me notice something interesting. From April through September PSP was doing better in 2006 than 2005, when suddenly the percentages flip. At that same time, PS2 began to have some better-than-2005 weeks, when previously it had always been a negative comparison. I think this has more to do with PSP being fairly strong late last year and PS2 being fairly weak late last year than any sudden changes late this year.

Oh man, how silly do I feel for pointing out that this would happen last week, then failing to notice it this week. DS Lite has surpassed original model DS.

Anyone think the DSL can crack 7.5 million by the end of the year? It certainly seems like if Nintendo can supply the stock quick enough!
No worries - had to use a calculator, though, which is sad, but when I've just woken up, doing quick arithmetic in my head hurts :/
