Sure. So is 150K/week versus 60K/week. Neither is doing what they were a few months ago. Both are still doing well in comparison to what came before them.reilo said:

Really, Wii's biggest game is Wiifit. Galaxy was hyped by some people here who had no idea of how 3D Mario sales compared to 2D Mario game sales. Umbrella Chronicles didn't do bad numbers at all as well, I'm sure it will pass Capcoms expectations easily. If WiiFit fails, than Nintendo should worry because I doubt that they have as big an idea as that one ready for release soon afterwards. If WiiFit succeeds though, they could position the Wii as some kind of a health system just like they positioned the DS as a (mental) function trainer (Brain training, Kanji training, English training and what not). I fully expect something with reflex training in it for Wii.

Edit:
Then again, maybe it's not "Wow."What am I missing? Is it one of the banned memes?
All it is, is a circle jerk for Nintendo sales. Not really much in the way of meaningful discussion.

I would guess the one who made it reads or is a member of NeoGaf since i noticed alot of "NeoGAF .gifs" in there. Maybe the .gifs are used broad on other forums to tho, but since the charts are in there too i would guess its a member or a reader of NeoGAF

It was as much a neogaf circle jerk as a Wii circle jerk, unless those memes and gifs are everywhere.

correct about everything
One of the search tags is Neogaf and the person who posted it has the same avatar as the person on youtube who uploaded that.

Wow, like 90% of the stuff in that video was made by gaffers, that wiigirl owes credit to at least 20 people from here... She could have mentioned somewhere she "took" most of the images from here..
EDIT: well, yeah... it's in the tags... it suffices I guess.

I dont know, i'm just saying
These "Wii is owning PS3 sales" and so on videos are getting pretty old tho.Whether the hopes were misplaced isn't my point. Galaxy is Wii's best game, and it was the game with the most hope placed in it to pull Wii out of the rut. Only after reality set in did we look to Wii Fit.ksamedi said:
And DS just had DQIV and sales went up close to 50kdonny2112 said:

Its not what kind of a game it is, but its the key to a lot of third party support. It happened with the DS as well after it exploded with Brain Training. Sales attract third parties, which in return attract a more hardcore audiance.
It sold well, and bumped the Cube hardware by quite a bit, but it didn't last. You need games that last a lot longer than Smash. Then you can build momentum.
Crusade said:
Most people with half a brain decided at E307 that Wii Fit would be the next huge hit.
It wasnt until people actually played Mario Galaxy that it started to get hype and some foolish expectations of a NSB type of sales. Most people were blinded by its awesomeness to remeber that 3D Marios have been on a downward trend in Japan (Myself included). Cant blame us though. Mario is pretty awesome.
Don't misunderstand, I'm not saying people weren't expecting Wii Fit to be a success beforehand. Just that Mario Galaxy was supposed to push Wii's. Don't give me this crap, hindsight is 20/20. Nobody expected Galaxy to bomb, nobody would've been convinced that because Sunshine did so-so, that meant anything for GalaxyGrecco said:
The way I see it is that a lot of Japanese companies must have already started on Wii development for a while now. I'm fully expecting that in 2008 the Wii will have some serious third party support from a lot of companies. This can only mean more trouble for the PS3. If WiiFit explodes, than I can't see how the PS3 could become the dominent system in Japan because WiiFit would have done its job as Brain Training did for the DS, which attracted a lot of third party support and made the system quite hardcore. The Wii already has a Nintendogs equivalent with Wiisports, now all it needs is a Brain training type game.

WORD BITCHES YOU BETTA RECKANIZE
spwolf said:
That really doesn't matter if Wii sells 100k + numbers every week (if that happens ofcourse). Even if WiiFit is the cause of this, you can asume that there are other people in the household as well, or that these people who buy WiiFit also buy other games. In any case, there will be some serious third party support wich will lead to more hardcore gamers buying the system as well. Nintendo doesn't have the privilige of counting on mega third party franchises to hit the Wii first, it has to earn them.

Well, apparently they didn't RECKANIZE, but it was cool to see a lot of my stuff in a random foreign video that pays homage to everything neoGaf and sales-age.
Of mine, I saw:
1. weekly MC LTD pie charts (animated much better than I ever did) (@ :50)
2. LTD line chart (@1:29)
3. Wii/DS heaven/jesus picture (@2:24)
4. Wii girl poppin mouth.gif (@3:02)
Cheese: pie charts (@2:56)
So, either I'm being stalked by Wiigirl (who did have the balls to say "copyright 2007 wiigirl" at the end of the vid), or I spend entirely too much time doing Wii sales/.gif/memes. I actually really like the video, and think it's an homage to neoGaf in general. I can see how it's a bit fanboyish though.

Sales 11/19-11/25 were 37000, it placed at #10 (the Megaman games were counted as one).

Super Smash Bros. Melee was in the top 30 pretty regularly for a good half year, and even popped back up at #27 one week over a year from release.ksamedi said:
As for hardware, the week of SSBM's release accounted for 3% of GCN's final userbase. Even if we credit no further hardware sales to SSBM, that would still be a notable one-time influence.
Going back to much earlier in the thread...
A bit of an exaggeration. Twilight Princess, Dragon Quest Swords, Super Paper Mario, and even Super Mario Galaxy have sold better than anything in PSP's first year. Mario Party 8 and WarioWare, too, depending on whether pre-DS series can get grandfathered in as being "traditional".ethelred said:

I take it they don't include PC games? 'cuz I seriously find it hard to believe that Wings of the Goddess 360 outsold Wings of the Goddess PC. The devteam said themselves that more Japanese players are starting to play on PC than PS2.

Going from somewhat 10-15k a week to somewhat 50k a week shows that the pricedrop (and the new games) did have some effect. Its only been 3 weeks, so its impossible to say how long it would last.

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...

I dunno, i think a roughly 50% sales increase over the current trend is a decent bump.

Stop.
Prior to Mario Galaxy there were only 2 3d Marios. It is not possible for 2 points to be a trend.
