More than 3 months after its european launch, Wii is still sold at 300 on ebay in France. I think it looks a lot like in Japan right now.

Here, in Brussels (Belgium), I have seen no Wii on my saturday tour (5 shops : FNAC, MediaMarket and 3 more specialized shops). On the contrary, I was surprised to see black DSL around (usually, only pink DSL were available before).
Someone has news for NPD february data?

There is a sticky up on the top of the forum page about February NPD. NPD will be coming out this Thursday though.

Inhumanility said:I really see where you guys come from, but it's not going to click that Wii is selling out EVERY week, LOWER AND LOWER until I get some concrete evidence. I think some are just not being picked up because of the lack of software coming out. Naruto and Fire Emblem don't cater to Japanese, non-traditional gamers fyi.
The comment about you not thinking DS is selling substantially more in Japan than US, Pureauthor, I hope you can now see as well....
No input form you ethel? I'd expect you'd be the first

That's the problem with these guys. They get banned so quickly a new one needs to step up each week to fill the empty space.

I also live in Japan. But I live in a small town in Kyushu so it's a different perspective. New games annd system sell out all the time in the big cities (Osaka, Tokyo) but they often can be readily found in the small towns. And that is where the Wii is unusal. It is also sold out here and in every other small town I have been to. One of my Japanese friends owns a game store here (Called Famicom Dojo) and he has a long list of people who are waiting for Wii systems to arrive, he dosn't expect to fill all those orders for 2-3 months. However at that same shop it is fairly easy to find DS lite systems he almost always has 1 or 2 on stock. There is no doubt in my mind that the Wii is compleatly sold out across Japan.

Is this related to the Gamecube Hut?Vinnk said:
I wrote up a blog entry on Famicom Dojo about a year ago. But what is the policy on linking things here? Is 4cr allowed? I know linking certain sites is highly frowned upon.
Back on topic. I also found it strange that in my small town the chain TV game store (Wanpaku) had a huge display for Cooking Mama and about 20 copies on hand. I don't know if they sold any of them at all. It seems like the game was expected to do better than it did (at least by this shop). Then again there were also huge displays for Red Steel and that was a failure here as well.
BTW does anyone have the Japanese numbers for games like Red Steel that never really charted?

OK thanks, man
From what I've seen of the way it works, as long as you don't make a habit of promoting your own site, and the article is interesting it's fine. AFAIK if you can type the site and it doesn't come up in asterisks there's no problem. Like www.4colorrebellion.com vs. www.*****.com (S P O N G).Vinnk said:
4cr is a good site, I enjoyed the podcast, what happened to it?
With regards to Japanese totals, Dalthien keeps a good thread which contains all confirmed data he can find, but once a title goes out of the weekly charts it becomes difficult and he has to rely on occasional numbers posted in the MC threads and 6 monthly or yearly charts:

Ummm, this is your personal guess work, right?
Here in Finland we're just now starting to see commercials for Wii. Before now there simply wasn't Wiis to be sold, and thus no reason to hype the console. Now this week, there's the first Wii TV commercial, and I've seen a Wii ad in one store catalog. So I think Nintendo finally had some bigger shipment (people on some forums said there was a 20 system shipment to a single store in one place), and people don't need to line up for the system anymoreoldie-newbie said:

Yoshi's 2d Adventure for the Wii
Yoshi's Island DS, actually
... of joy.
I don't have as much fond nostalgia of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island as some here seem to. I thought it was decent, but definitely not a real Mario platformer. That said, Yoshi's Island DS does a pretty dang good job of building on what the first one did. Nothing super-amazing, but a very solid game, nonetheless. Definitely not worthy of the flack some people here give it.
Having finished the game with opening/beating all Extra Levels, I would buy it again, which is pretty decent praise, in my opinion.

quite call the polizie!
anyways... why is anyone surprised that musuo took a notable drop?
why don't we instead give credit where it's due with MHP2.
remember when Phil Harrison said that "Nintendo knows its target audience, because it really has narrowed that down; and it's pretty much defined by a boy or a girl's ability to admire Pokemon."?
oh how amusing that quote looks nowadays.
full credit to MHP2, amusing ironies aside.

Yoshi Island DS will crawl over 1 million like Kirby. Artoon couldn't kill all the Yoshi goodness.
Layton will definitely pass 400k. The sequels... maybe.
