It would be interesting to see how many places stock that PS3 killer-app Madden.

Right. All those stories from Europe of the Gamecube vanishing off the shelves never happened here in the US, obviously, with the GC's much higher level of success (the N64 and GC sold, at best, about as many units in Europe as they did in Japan), and the N64 was strong competition for the PSX for quite a while. Obviously between the N64 and GC Nintendo lost a lot of people, far more than they lost between the SNES (23-24 million sold in the US) and N64, probably thanks to the Xbox (and the sheer dominance of the PS2), but even there the US was by far Nintendo's best territory... even though they likely will win America, they don't need to to do really well worldwide. Not when America never was their biggest problem. They've obviously retaken Japan, but if Nintendo can actually perform well in Europe for the first time ever...
Mithos Yggdrasil said:
But will Sony have a region where they do as well as Nintendo did in America with the N64? Right now it's not looking that way...
Sony will eventually have America as their leading region once a price drop happens. Not to forget all those games they have coming out during the fall. Japan though... oh man, forget about it.
edit: In regards to the DS... I'm not too happy that in the US its trailing in Japan when it comes to sales by 4-6M I believe in overall YTD? I forget...

There is no way in hell Nintendo will drop the price until the console at least stops selling out instantly when it hits store shelves. When you start to see systems readily available, then we can discuss when Nintendo might want to make a price cut. I wouldn't be surprised if their first price drop was Summer 2008.
Interestingly, the DS Lite has been out since March 2006, so it's over a year old, and has not had a price drop yet. The DS had it's first price drop right around now I believe in it's life span (it's second was when the DS Lite was released).

What size price drop are you thinking? Because I don't see any price drop affecting sales of the PS3 in the US until it's at the same price that the 360's at now ($400). And I don't see Sony dropping the price $200 over the course of a year, even after multiple drops.

Not with the 360 around. USA is Wii60 land atm.JavyOO7 said:
Miniboss1232 said:
A big one of 200 dollars by Christmas time. I did not mean to say that they'll come out #1 in America, I'm just saying that when we compare PS3 in regards to EUR/JPN/USA, that USA will come out on top for them.
I do see the price drop affecting it sales a bit though. I mean it has to... I think. MGS4/FF13... and those other big games that I forget should be able to move some consoles. If not then yeah they're ****ed.

Also, what he said.
edit: Ah, I see what Javy is saying. I'm not sure though. I would actually bet more on Europe than the US. But this whole gen is screwed up anyways, so who knows.

I don't think MGS4 will move too many consoles. The series isn't really that big of a seller, is it?

Europe is way, way, WAY more likely to be PS3's biggest market.

It'll move a bunch. MGS2 was the big holiday ps2 title of 2001, besides gta and FFX. MGS3 didn't sell as well cause it was a prequel, imo.

MGS1 = Over 6M (shipped)
MGS2 = Over 7M
MGS3 = Over 3M
(according to Wiki)
I'm surprised MGS2 sold more than 1... regardless, I think MGS4 should be a big seller. If it comes out this fall, it'll be the PS3's marquee title and I would not doubt it should sell atleast over 2M and then sometime next year beat MGS3. I imagine plenty of hardware should be moved as well... atleast enough so that I don't have to be saying the PS3 will go the way of the dodo.

He must be holding them back because PS3 outsold Wii this week.

MGS4 will definitely be a big seller, but 2M start growing to over 3M is a huge stretch; If we very generously say that Sony is at 10M for Christmas, which I think is honestly an impossibility at this point (let's overestimate ridiculously and say 300,000 a month until Christmas in NA, 200,000 a month until Christmas in Japan, somehow 500,000 a month until Christmas in Europe/Other) that would represent a 20 growing to 30% attach rate, which is HIGHLY unlikely. Resistance is around 1.3M worldwide on PS3 sales of 3M, so you're basically arguing that MGS4 is going to attach better than Resistance even though the latter was a killer launch title in a very very very poor launch field.
If you more realistically put the PS3 at around 7M by Christmas, you're proposing a 30% overnight attach rate growing to 35% or so in 2008, which is even less likely.
In my opinion, MGS4 will likely sell around 1.5M or 1.6M through mid-2008; enough to surplant Resistance and move some units, but not enough to do anything huge.

Holy shit. Wii hardware at 150K possible!
wow, they really did stockpile these past few weeks.
And wow at the SPM numbers. 600k LTD at the very least. Mario is definitely back.
BBA could potentially stay at that 30k weekly sweet spot for a while
Wow. It looks like Japanese Wii owners don't completely loathe real games after all. I'm glad it's Paper Mario that's selling so well since it's the best game on the system and IntSys deserves to be rewarded for its originality and inventiveness.
Revenant Wings isn't doing too badly. Tracking a decent bit higher than FFTA (280 first week vs. 225, 110 second week vs. 66) -- it should end up between 500 to 600k. Not bad. Better than Zelda, at least!
