So Wii just sold the same as normal? No bump for Golden Week at all? Hmmm. Not a good sign, honestly.

Did someone hijack your account? Those are sales for 4/23-4/29, not golden week.

You sound like a depressed anihawk :p

Two things, first, those numbers are for the week before golden week, not golden week itself. Second, it's entirely possible there was no bump because the Wii is still supply constrained, and unfortunately Nintendo hasn't mastered a way of selling non-existent consoles yet. Although I'm sure they will eventually, if they can sell non-games, they can sell non-consoles.

I'm bullish on MC Thread posts.

I'm going short on this thread and will cover Wednesday morning in preparation to go long for that MC thread.
 
I reall dont know what to say that doesnt sound like a cookie cutter repsonse. Good sales for games. Nintendo top 16 sweep is ok, not great, come tak to me when they clear the top 18.

Media Create Escher indeed.

Is this a riddle? An optical illusion of some sort?

Re: the leaked hardware numbers. Remember that the past few weeks, they have been significantly off from MC numbers. I expect at least 90K.

Never followed sports? Never felt patriotic about the actions of a countryman? Or proud of the actions of a family member?

I mean, it's possible that they're all no for you I guess, but it's a common enough human trait to be almost universal. You might find yourself doing this

Well, there were 81 DS Phats last week, so:

GBM = 7*81 = 567
360 = 567*5 = 2835
PS2 = 2835*4 = 11340
PS3 = 11500 ?
PSP = 11500*2.5 = 28750
Wii = 28750*3 = 86250
DSL = 86250*2.5 = 215625

You know, I honestly thought someone really had hijacked his account about 2 weeks ago. Some surprising quotes coming out of this kid...like, he's trying too hard or something to be sarcastic, but it just comes across horribly wrong.

Now that I think about it, it's more like Anihawk and Ethelred switched accounts for a couple weeks. Anihawk has been trying too hard to sound sarcastic and Ethelred has been trying too hard to be funny/edgy. They should switch back. I like them both better the way they were.

Good lord. I come into this thread after having just watched my Pistons take a dump on the Bulls, and its the same thing in here!

Where has the competition gone in the world!

Damn it Sony! Make a shot already!

Just wait until your Pistons get flattened by my Spurs. There's your damn competition. :)

Whats the difference between Brain Training and Big Brain Academy? Who makes what?
Nintendo makes both. Brain Age/Training is based on the books/research/disembodied head of Dr. Kawashima, and rates your success in terms of an age. Big Brain Academy is quite similar, but it's not a Kawashima product, is of a more kiddy/less serious design, and rates your success in a letter grade.

gundam musou just reached a quater million sales. i'd say a 1:3 attach rate is pretty good for it, wouldn't you think?
To be picky that'd make it more like 1:3.4, but yeah, that alone isn't too bad, considering.

Why are there no PS3 games being released? Did they expect Ridge/Gundam to carry the console the way that Wii Sports/Play has carried Wii? Nintendomination of the console-sphere has only become clear in the last few months, shouldn't there have been more games in development from back when the PS3 was an assumed certainty?
Yeah, but they seem to be mostly planned for 2008-ish.

Happens all the time. When my grandma was proud of me being good at math, it wasn't because she taught me all I knew about equations. Falls more under the "delight or elation arising from some act, possession, or relationship" part of the definition than the "reasonable or justifiable self-respect" part.
 
So when do we get the numbers for golden week?

Great to see Wii level with the DS in the top 10, so much for "3rd party Wii software doesn't sell" :lol Go One Piece!

Good to see that these two games sold really well. Although Hotel Dusk sucked, it had some nice art direction, so thats cool with me.

Final Fantasy Dissidia was just announced for the PSP, for whatever reason, so expect PSP sales to rise to heaven. ^^

If by "rise to heaven" you mean "sell 50,000 a week and slowly taper off" I agree.

I'm not 'proud' of the fact that I believe Christ was willing to die for me. Try 'humbled' and 'grateful'.

Not to mention that one of the core virtues of Christianity is humility, and I'm not sure what you're trying to imply here.

Never followed sports? Never felt patriotic about the actions of a countryman? Or proud of the actions of a family member?

I mean, it's possible that they're all no for you I guess, but it's a common enough human trait to be almost universal. You might find yourself doing this

a lot.

Feeling happy/excited/grateful over the accomplishments of someone or something else =/= feeling proud over the accomplishments of something else.

For example, the 'pride over the actions of a family member' thing - what, am I supposed to be proud that I share the person's genes or something?

These are just some incredible sales. Makes you wonder how much longer this is going to go on for. However at the moment the answer to this seems to be, For several years yet to come.

I don't know about anyone else, but I for one enjoy your quote by quote analytical breakdown posts, Josh. :)

Come on third parties, it's time to jump on the bandwagon here. I'm tired of waiting for announcements. :(

This seem strange to me too: certainly we've seen loads of Wii announcements recently, with a lot of new/revived IP, but where are the established blockbuster franchises?

You know the Wii did come out of the blue, so expecting all kinds of awesome games from the successor of the GC is laughable. Also by now I think it's apparent that Nintendo launched the system backwards targeting the casuals and throwing a bone to the gamers, thus building a large userbase quickly that typically doesn't purchase as many games as gamers. Something like that.

The Wii gotta be at 90k this week or nintendo didn't ship more than usual.

So...How long before the NPDs start looking like this...?

It does already, if you are talking about hardware sales.

If you are talking software, I would say never for the DS and 2008 for the Wii. No seriously, the DS is rocking the world but I doubt that we would get a flood of awesome western games on the console.

Sim City DS is good enough for me.
