Yeah, parser's out of service at the moment. Freaking SDC bugs. Lemme see if I can roll back...
Finn said:Just for my own clarification -
Why does the ridiculously bad sales of the PS3 get a pass and a "it's not too late to turn it all around!" from media outlets, while when Nintendo and its GC was in last place, it was getting a "Nintendo R teh D00MED!!!1" everywhere you looked? The hypocrisy is maddening.
Heh, probably should have thrown in a question mark considering the sentence was a question.
No big releases yet. No, seriously what big release has there been to push insane sales outside of the hardcore users?
If it's still pulling these numbers at Final Fantasy 13.......

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
So here are my thoughts on why it takes so long to get restocks:
You need to book manufacturing time with Nintendo well in advance of when you need it, at least a few months usually. Company puts in a modest order for their initial print run and schedules a time for their first resupply, not wanting to make too many and potentially flood the retail channel if the game bombs. Considering how many DS carts are probably in production, it's highly unlikely their restock print time is scheduled sooner than a few weeks after their release date. They expect their initial print run to last until then.
Release date comes, and the game sells out, and so the company needs to restock a lot faster than anticipated, they can't get it any sooner than their scheduled manufacturing time.
I'm sure all these companies are making proper estimates for their first print runs, but even considering the DS boom it's not necessarily good business sense to make a gigantic first print run for release unless you're really really really damn sure it's all going to sell out...otherwise you just flood the retail channel with a bunch of unsold stock.

It'll take the same amount of time to debug. Just hold on...

Nice, but PSP should have sold more considering a large, 700k-in-its-first-week title was just released. DS has been handicapped by shortages, but what's the PSP's excuse? They're all over Japan. It could have hit 200k.

Good to see that PSP boost.
Is the Wii still out of stock?
You're right, its awesome..just a letdown when the numbers released earlier were 90K plus.

As soon as rumble and Home are released, this will be reversed.
Or at least that seems to be the feeling in those other threads.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that's why no one should listen to GAF hype

Good job Cheesemeister : you are the MC of MC threads
Good PSP numbers but I think that this increase resulted more from the release of "gold" psp (february 22th) than from the release of Monster Hunter...

Yeah, it's getting to the point now where Sony can't dig themselves out of this hole. Even if FF XIII was released tomorrow, I don't think things would change too much.

Found the bug. The HTML layout had changed. Fortunately, I should have all day tomorrow free to rewrite the HTML parser to be more robust. Oh, joy!
The DS is so strong! It's insane. You would have thought the PSP would outsell the DS this week, but noo. It keeps going on and on and on.
Also the Wii sold slightly less than I predicted, even though it did sell 15k more than last week.
Again, ouch PS3! Next week will be interesting though.

A Sony product is higher than a Nintendo product. This is the first time this has happened in years or so it seems.

I'm out for tonight, guys. I'll update the OP when I've got the proggy fixed up.

Don't come in here with your sane ramblings and logic! It's all Nintendo's fault and they can make 500,000 more cartridges or 5 more fab plants appear out of thin air with a wave of their hand!
Back to being serious though. I'm amazed the DS still out sold the PSP. I honestly thought the PSP would get ahead this time. Oh well, at least they are closing the gap(tm).
And the PS3.. Is that the lowest number so far?

Cheesemeister said:
Wow, MHP2 did move systems it seems, nearly tripled the sales of the PSP. And it only sold to 65% of th MHP install base (705k (MHP2 sales) - 100k (PSP sales) / 930 (MHP sales)). Of course, if I remember the split correctly, it's sold to just about 100% of the people who bought MHP full price, so any sales it has after this are either upgrades to full price customers or new customers. Either way Capcom certainly rocked this one.
Wii vs. PS3, eh, not at all surprising. Guess we'll see what happens next week with Gundam Musou. If shipments really are on 150k-200k, not sure how much of a spike it can have. I mean, there are plenty of PS3's available, so it could sell 1:1 with Gundam Musou, but that's assuming: A) No one who already has a PS3 will buy a copy of GM and B) People without a PS3 will still buy the PS3, even if they can't find a copy of GM.
Anyone know what the next 360 game with a chance of decent sales in Japan is? Trusty Bell? When is that due?
