3. I'm coining the term PSthree-make. As in, when they re-release it. This term will me more widely recognized than my previous coinage, the Gundabump.

Perhaps future analyses can also include graphs of the popularity of your various terms, gaf-wide. It'll add some spice to the discussion during the slow summer months.

@Vinnk: Good luck!

Thoughts
It's getting predictable, and it has been. Nothing I could add here would make it more interesting other than some wacky predictions or outlandish claims. I can summarize, if you'd like?

1. It's over.
2. Price Cut.

Never stop making these, Panther, y'yhear me? Never.

Hey, hey, did anyone say this yet...?

"Wow what are those PS2 games doing in Nintendo's top 100 list...LAWLZ"

did anyone say that?

Oh damn, someone said that

And it's still funnier than anyone who owns a PS3.

Wii comparisons: At 25 weeks, Wii is where GCN was at 108.4 weeks (October 7, 2003), where DS was at 28.3 weeks (June 13, 2005), where PS2 was at 23.7 weeks (August 10, 2000), and where PSP was at 54.4 weeks (December 20, 2005).

PS3 comparisons: At 28 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 3.3 weeks (March 21, 2000), where PSP was at 11.2 weeks (February 21, 2005), where GCN was at 15.7 weeks (December 28, 2001), and where Wii was at 4.7 weeks (December 28, 2006).

PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 14.2 / 85.8, just a hair more Wii-tilted than last week. Lifetime shares are now 26.5 / 73.5. If Wii stops selling and PS3 continues at this week's rate, it will catch up in 183.0 weeks (November 20, 2010).

PS2 vs DS: At this weeks' rates PS2 and DS meet up in 33.2 weeks (January 7, 2008) at 20.86 million apiece.

20 weeks into 2007, Nintendo has passed their 2004 hardware number. 2003 was passed last week.

What are the LTD sales for the Game Boy and Game Boy Color in Japan (seperate, not combined)? I want to know if the DS has become Nintendo's best selling handheld in Japan yet (I know it hasn't worldwide, the DS is at about 40 million while the GBA is over 70 million).

The Famitsu numbers I've got are missing a week during the time it was tracked, but it doesn't look like GBC even hit 6 million. I don't have exact GB numbers, but considering that combined GB+GBC number of ~33 million I've seen around here sometimes, GB (+ Pocket + Light) must've been over 25 million?

 

[PantherLotus]

JJ:

So the Wii is selling somewhere in between the DS and the PS2 for its first 25 weeks? That's pretty significant if you ask me.

 

[phez]

this is the first time i've realized the 360 is at 40% of the PS3's numbers.

imo, thats quite the ****ing feat.

 

[Oblivion]

Anything can happen. It's on a ten year plan!

I'm starting to think Sony misplaced the decimal point.


Anyhoooooooo, although Wii is still winning, those numbers still seem pretty low. Nintendoomination?

Okay, see it's still hard to get used to the fact that systems sold under 50k at one point.

Cheesemeister:

What happened with your JP PS3? Did SCEA replace it?

 

[xabre]

If Wii stops selling and PS3 continues at this week's rate, it will catch up in 183.0 weeks (November 20, 2010).

You should start doing a 'If PS3 stops selling and X360 continues at this week's rate, it will catch up in x weeks'.

No word yet. They received it on Monday.

that's...a way of looking at it, I guess. Remember, 40% of shit is still...shit.

 

[legend166]

I think we should talk about what would have happened if Nintendo didn't release the Wii, but something more akin to the PS3 or 360.

I say: doom for the industry in Japan, followed by doom for the industry everywhere else, 3 years later.

 

[mj1108]

Okay, see it's still hard to get used to the fact that systems sold under 50k at one point.

I remember the thread when Nintendogs came out and everyone was shitting bricks over the fact the DS sold 93 or 96,000 that week since that was such a huge spike.

Funny how perception changes.

You'd have the people who obviously aren't posting in this thread saying things like:

"Why does Nintendo even try?"
"Third party!!!"
"They can't compete"
"Can't wait for Mario on the PS3"
etc.....

 

[cvxfreak]

PS2 + Wii for massive damage

I'm glad it sold well on PS2.

man, what interesting times we live in.

Yes.

Also, I forgot to specify that I meant console industry. Obviously the DS wins everything.

 

[Eteric Rice]

So I'm playing DDR, and now it looks like the right arrow on my mat is broken.

****, NOW I'M REALLY BORED AND MAD!

 

[SouthernDragon]

Good luck, Vinnk. I expect an -extra special- report. Best of luck!

Also, PSP sales are really, really steady. Wow. I'm impressed.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

JJ:

Indeed. And considering that both of those systems stayed under 50K from week 26 through week 36, Wii will gain more ground if it doesn't dip too.

You should start doing a 'If PS3 stops selling and X360 continues at this week's rate, it will catch up in x weeks'.

Not a bad idea. Doing the calculation manually for now, it works out to... 261.5 weeks, so I guess it is still a pretty big gap.

I think we should talk about what would have happened if Nintendo didn't release the Wii, but something more akin to the PS3 or 360.

I say: doom for the industry in Japan, followed by doom for the industry everywhere else, 3 years later.

I say: Vinnk wouldn't have seen those DS Lites in stores this week.

Or what if the Wii remote was released as a Gamecube add-on.

 

[Empty_One]

Or what if the Wii remote was released as a Gamecube add-on.

Well that would have been a failure, since there is more to the Wii's success than the controller.

 

[Porkepik]

Is there any title coming out for the PS3 in the coming weeks in japan (except ninja gaiden)

 

[lupin23rd]

Isn't NBA Street coming out today?

6/14 - Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Call of Duty 3

6/21 - FolksSoul and Def Jam Icon

6/28 - Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Rainbox 6: Vegas

7/5 - My Summer Holiday 3

7/26 - Hot Shots Gold 5 and Wangan Midnight

8/?? - Bladestorm

Kinda sad that in those 6/7 weeks, the same number or more games are coming out that were released from 1/1 to the end of May. That's a problem, especially when some of those tiles are Def Jam and Marvel.

The "decline" of these threads is no great loss.

But it certainly exposes the self-involved hypocrites.

We just gotta see who's not showing up anymore.

Isn't NBA Street coming out today?

Why, yes!

5/21 - 5/27:
PS3 - 1
NBA Street: Homecourt (EA)
360 - 2
NBA Street: Homecourt (EA)

 

[sphinx]

serious, I haven't seen a a member of the Sony defense force in the last weeks appear anywhere in the forum.

there are some neutral members, with passive positivism but the hardcore sony fanbase is just avoiding the forums, I think. In that sense they are smarter than the nintendo fanbase that was humilliated throughout the gamecube years.

" nintendo will comeback with Mario DDR ".... and similar quotes certainly didn't help the situation back then, maybe the SDF learned how to avoid being delusional.

 

[SouthernDragon]

All signs point to being delusional on the PS3 forums.

yes, it's normal on a dedicated forum but look everywhere where gaming in general is dicussed. Karraker is right, general forums are a curse for PS3.

Or, maybe they are festering in another place? there's no doubt some of the SDF will become as devout and crazy as some Nintendo fans got over the years.

They'll be back, once the PS3 gets a bump from MGS4/FF13.

What, with the wireless download station giving out a demo of DQ9? Did I get that right? Yeah, total domination. Looks like smooth sailing thru 07.

As to JoshJ's prediction of the DS/PS2 meetup, I was just thinking about the inevitable sales boost in Nov/Dec that will move that date up into 07.
