Pffffft. Yoshinori Kitase and Akitoshi Kawazu aren't touching Dragon Quest and Yuji Horii isn't doing Final Fantasy; many things are as split as they ever were. They own Taito, too, but I wouldn't say DQS or FFCC count for anyone wanting a Taito game.ethelred said:

Sorry for derailing things with the ps3forums quotes; next time we have a slow news day, we should totally put on a "in this thread, we entertain the fantasies over at ps3forums"
Maybe I'll set up a quick phpBB install or something and invite members of both forums for a "public debate" on PS3 sales!

Agreed. I'm expecting 100,000+ Wii sales.

Has there been any word on when the next One Piece shipment is due to come in?
Nothing much new released this week, not much to talk about until hardware comes out. This is the week I call time of death on the PS3. If it can't manage ~20k units for golden week, it is no longer a going concern in Japan.
Also, so as not to bump last week's thread again (wouldn't want to throw off the 'posts in media create threads' graph):
Well, no, no, there wasn't an official price drop. What seemed to happen was that all retailers quietly shifted the DS price to $99 to clear out stock and then restocked with the DS Lite. As early as a week after the DS Lite released in the US, every original DS I saw was selling for ~$99.99. I have no verification, but I assume the situation has been very different in Japan, what with DS' of any stripe being difficult to find.
So no, the only official price drop the DS ever had was when it dropped from $150 to $130.

While I don't agree that the first few months decide the generation's battle, I do agree that there's no way it will be split 3 ways; it's a pretty pussy-out way of analyzing the market.Gorgie said:
So you posted the Nintendo top 20, what about all format? you also forgot the PS3 chart, oh, wait....
Nintendomination total, I was called out for saying the Wii would sell 150k this week, it seems like I'm not going to be that far off, heh

I had predicted top 20 before. I was wrong, but only by a little.
This is great for the Wii, knowing all the major franchises are not even released yet. (They still will have another Zelda). The only games they've released are Wario Ware (Which is now usually a close to launch title), and Big Brain, Excite Truck and Super Paper Mario... if these even count as big franchises...
God knows what will happen when we get Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Mario Galaxy, Smash Brothers, Metroid Prime and of course a bit of F-Zero.
Will the world explode?

I think you need to quote yourself and the link to that prediction for full effect.

Great sales.
Could anyone update the Mario- and Pokemon-chart-graphics?

This is a few weeks out of date (I'm on a college computer, so I don't have the spreadsheet with me), but here's the most recent chart I've uploaded:
There's a few things worth noting.
- The attach rate is (generally) higher on weeks with low sales, and lower on weeks with high sales. Even if there were an abnormally high attach rate of 70%, that'd still correspond to 121,117 Wii hardware sales. That said, this is a very high sales week, so the attach rate could be as low as 55%, resulting in hardware sales of 154,149.
- It's not on the above chart, but Super Paper Mario doesn't seem to have made any impact on Wii Sports sales. It appars that most people who buy SPM along with a new Wii also buy Wii Sports. As such, SPM's high sales aren't worth taking into account with regard to the Wii Sports attach rate.
- As I've said, I don't have the spreadsheet with me, but when I do, I'll run the Wii Sports sales through recent trends to get a hardware prediction for the week. My current alogrithm is usually been within 5k or so of the actual hardware sales, but given that it's golden week, sales of both hardware and software could go against recent trends.
Preliminary predictions:
Wii: 140,000
PS3: 14,000 (to drop below 10k next week)
