Great sales for everyone except the PS3. DS and Wii need more shipments.

 

[Kuramu]

i love the mario charts, but i prefer the one that is scaled according to actual sales numbers as opposed to the one that is linearly scaled to only show placement.

 

[Brofist]

Bizzaro world confirmed?

probably just a difference in expectations.

 

[max-pain]

What happened with neoplay's blog?

http://blog.livedoor.jp/neoplay/

 

[Masklinn]

Wii is still on fire, though. I imagine supply is still restrained?

I guess we'd have heard about it if it wasn't anymore.

 

[farnham]

wait so how's 60k for PSP good and 60k for wii bad?

because the PSP is not really on a high run (except MHP2 last week)
while the Wii was supposedly doing very well.. 60k is a small drop from last week..

 

[farnham]

Bizzaro world confirmed?

im expecting the wii to substain high level sales thats all.. 60k is not that much for the leading platform..

 

[Stormbringer]

Now that I think about it, will Wii Play ever be outside of the top 10-15 as long as the Wii is the #1 selling home console each week? I can see it selling 30-40k a week for the lifetime of the console since it comes with a controller.

That's right, I'm predicting 10 million plus. Mark it dude.

Wii Play and Wii Sports will have HELL of legs in the chart, that's for sure. Wii Sports especially will probably remain one of the (if not THE) flagship game of the console during his entire life, so it will sell constantly a lot of Wii consoles. And as you mentioned, as long as Wii consoles are bought, Wii Play + Wiimote packs will be sold, so this product will very probably sell a LOT as well.

 

[PantherLotus]

Yup.

60k for Wii is below expectations. It should be in the 65-80k range. I still think these early estimations are off a bit from MC.

PSP is not usually that high and the Wii is not usually that low.

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

Yup.

60k for Wii is below expectations. It should be in the 65-80k range. I still think these early estimations are off a bit from MC.

Even so, if it's selling at a 100% of the shipment, it isn't sales that's the problem, but supply

 

[PantherLotus]

Oh no, I know that. I'm not sayin', I'm just saying.

60k (shipments) are below expectations. We already know they can hit at least 80k per week for Japan. They must be moving a lot to the States, and probably to EU/UK.

 

[Evlar]

Assuming it's still supply-constrained (which it probably is).

 

[farnham]

Yup.

60k for Wii is below expectations. It should be in the 65-80k range. I still think these early estimations are off a bit from MC.

shinobi estamations are always a little bit off

i think it was too low for the wii last week and a little bit to high for the PSP


we will see in two days

 

[Taker666]

True..but then again Nintendo only planned to manufacture 2 million units for the first quarter. Which would work out to around a 55k per region per week capacity.

next week it should hit 80k level again..

 

[Thraktor]

I wouldn't count on it, Brain Age continues to sell well alongside More Brain Age, Common Knowledge Training, etc. Wii Sports currently at a 65.5% attach rate to the console, and continues to sell consistently at the same rate (compared to Wii hardware sales for the week), which puts it well within the realm of possibility that it'll do DS "non-game" magnitude sales of 4 million (maybe even more) over the console's life.

It's strange the way it does that, what is the reason?

 

[Mr. Pointy]

It's strange the way it does that, what is the reason?

Shipments, probably.

 

[SuomiDude]

PSP is not usually that high and the Wii is not usually that low.

PSP going from 100K to 60K is BAD. Wii going from 79K to 60K isn't so bad. Also PSP is not selling out, Wii is. PS3 also got a nice boost.

 

[Roders5]

Shipments, probably.

But why would shipments go up and down between 60 and 80 every other week?

 

[Shiggy]

But why would shipments go up and down between 60 and 80 every other week?

The (transportation) costs are probably lower shipping more consoles every 2 weeks than less consoles each week.

 

[lancubap]

But why would shipments go up and down between 60 and 80 every other week?

Because shipments are not absolutely regulars. There is always a small difference between week and week.

 

[linsivvi]

True..but then again Nintendo only planned to manufacture 2 million units for the first quarter. Which would work out to around a 55k per region per week capacity.

They also only managed to ship a little bit more than 3 million last year, so at least add 500K to this quarter, which does work out to what Japan is currently getting.

 

[Jokeropia]

60k is not that much for the leading platform..

I get what you're saying (lower shipment than last week) but 60k per week is normally a huge amount for any leading platform in Japan, it's just that the DS has warped our view a bit.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

PSP going from 100K to 60K is BAD. Wii going from 79K to 60K isn't so bad. Also PSP is not selling out, Wii is. PS3 also got a nice boost.

PSP was at 100k for ONE week. It was an exception because of MHP2; nobody expected it to stay that high.

I agree that the Wii's drop isn't that bad, but it's the worst the Wii's ever been. (Or am I mistaken? Has the Wii been below 60k since launch?)

 

[farnham]

uh.. the PS2 consistantly sold over 70k when my knowledge is right with several bumps over 150k in its lifespan

Thanks to the power of repetition through PantherLotus's charts, I can tell you that the Wii has never dipped below 63k in a week.

 

[lancubap]

Thanks to the power of repetition through PantherLotus's charts, I can tell you that the Wii has never dipped below 63k in a week.

So it is clear that it is more then possible that the Wii will not go down under 63k, because after all, 60k is only an estimation.

"Correct!"

 

[schuelma]

So uhh...what's the next great PS3 system seller?

 

[TheGreatDave]

So uhh...what's the next great PS3 system seller?

Virtua Fighter 6.

 

[Wolf Beil]

Virtua Fighter 6.

But how will a Wii title be a PS3 system seller?

 

[Jokeropia]

Not during it's first year.

 

[NintendosBooger]

Not during it's first year.

Plus it didn't have any competition. Throw in the fact that it was a bargain for DVD-player hunters, and you'll begin to appreciate the Wii's success even more.

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

"Correct!"

He's not.

In fact, most people here still doesn't want to understand what are the numbers we get from sinobi and neoplay blogs.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Not during it's first year.

So, Wii's still trending higher than the PS2, and PS3 is still trending lower than the GameCube. Crisis averted.

 

[Link]

He's not.

In fact, most everyone here still doesn't want to understand what are the numbers we get from sinobi and neoplay blogs.

What did he say that wasn't correct? sinobi's numbers are estimates. If he reports 60k, it's more than possible that the actual numbers could be over 63k.

 

[farnham]

Not during it's first year.

oh.. of course not this year.. i was thinking about 2000 to 2005

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

What did he say that wasn't correct? sinobi's numbers are estimates. If he reports 60k, it's more than possible that the actual numbers could be over 63k.

Actual numbers as in Media Create numbers that are estimates.

sinobi reports rounded estimates from Enterbrain numbers, Famitsu numbers, that we will get non-rounded from Famitsu next week.

 

[Kenka]

So it is clear that it is more then possible that the Wii will not go down under 63k, because after all, 60k is only an estimation.

True but it doesn't matter at all since we all know that there are massive shortages in Japan.

Wow, supply constraints?

Thankfully Nintendo is upping production....are they?

 

[DarkMehm]

wow, this is now the biggest MC Thread ever.

 

[Jokeropia]

The PS2 graph is for it's first year on the market, i.e 2000.

 

[PantherLotus]

Wow, supply constraints?

It looks to me more like they're dependent on a 3rd party for one of their parts. Let's get to the bottom of this!

 

[Hcoregamer00]

D'oh

Third Parties aren't helping in the software arena and they sure aren't helping when they constrain the supply.

 

[Masklinn]

Dude, chart reading comprehension, the charts lists the first year of each console so it starts in 2000 for the PS2
