Never thought there would be a day where PS3 selling 9K would be an improvement..but there you go.

Wii hardware...still seems like it should be higher than that- if they're really making more than a million a month now, seems like Japan should be getting at least 75K a week.

 

[VultureDude]

It's OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!

Spoiler

I'm really disappointed. I wanted to update my PS3 Limbo graph. =(

percentage wise, isn't that a noticable increase, you know, for PR spin?

Or the DQIX supply.

By my calculations, PS3 has now OFFICIALLY SOLD OVER 900,000 UNITS.

May I coin the term Forzaslump?

Oh, Media Create.

We do love you so.

Damn...No it's not. There I sat in a haze and thought for some reason we were talking about the DS and not the Wii.

seeing these numbers around the world for 5 months now really make the wait for E3 + TGS complete hell.

the amount of suprises is gonna be insane. there should be atleast 1-2 big games coming from all devs worth their weight.

Im definitely not going to assume that bt I do expect a few pleasant surprises as well as some long awaited info on certain games I am absolutely dying to buy/play.

 

[Saitou]

Forza 2 didn't move any units. Bummer.

This probably means Trusty Bell won't move many units either.

Wow @ DSL! Always lurking above 100k a week! I'd also very much like to meet these people who insist on buying GBAs!

 

[Innotech]

By my calculations, PS3 has now OFFICIALLY SOLD OVER 900,000 UNITS.

just 80k more and theyll meet the Ps2 first week sales!

getting ready for FF:CC 2 by playing the GC version ;P

 

[Juwanna Peezadis]

You can still.

I was about to say I already have an under 10k version, but I do not. The first was "under 12k" then "under 11k" and finally "under 9k"

Spoiler

It kinda loses it's charm when it moved up from 9k to 10k

 

[mj1108]

But...every week is Easter?

 

[Innotech]

This makes me wonder if Ps3 wont just sell a shit ton of FF13 and MGS4 and then sink back down to hell again.

 

[Saitou]

But...every week is Easter?

Only if you're selling DSs

No they didn't have one last week either. So on a week to week conparision:

4 weeks ago: 1
3 weeks ago: the same one
2 weeks ago: 0 [100% sale increase]
last week: 0 [Infinite sales decrease]
This week: 0 [Normal PS3 sales]

You mean infinite sales increase, and 100% sales decrease? 100% increase from 0 is still 0, and I can't imagine what infinite decrease means.

[Branduil]

Wasn't someone saying 360 might go above the PS3 because of Forza?

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Wii comparisons: At 26 weeks (one half year), Wii is where GCN was at 112.4 weeks (November 4, 2003), where DS was at 30.1 weeks (June 26, 2005), where PS2 was at 24.7 weeks (August 18, 2000), and where PSP was at 54.8 weeks (December 23, 2005).

As I've pointed out before, since in this comparison PS2 is hitting a long lull point, Wii has a great chance to catch up. If Wii is flat at 50K indefinitely, it catches up to PS2 in about 2 months. By the end of the year (no holiday bump taken into account), it's ~2 months ahead of PS2.

PS3 comparisons: At 29 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 3.4 weeks (March 21, 2000), where PSP was at 11.5 weeks (February 23, 2005), where GCN was at 15.8 weeks (December 28, 2001), and where Wii was at 4.8 weeks (December 29, 2006).

PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares 14.1 / 85.9 , very very similar to last week. Total shares now 26.2 / 73.8. If Wii stops selling and PS3 continues at this week's rate, it cathces up in 169.7 weeks (August 26, 2010).

PS2 vs DS: At this week's rates, PS2 and DS meet up in 27.7 weeks (December 6, 2007) at 20.51 million apiece.

Wasn't someone saying 360 might go above the PS3 because of Forza?

I don't know that anyone seriously suggested it, but I'm surprised there wasn't at least a TINY bump, even just 500 units.

 

[Innotech]

Wasn't someone saying 360 might go above the PS3 because of Forza?

I mentioned it earlier as a possibility. It would have been funny. So at these rates, with Wii at 2.5 million and Ps3 just crossing 900k, wii should reach 3 million in about 9 weeks. Ps3 if its lucky might make it in 10-11. This is just freaking insane to watch. When does DQS come out again?

[PantherLotus]

Does anybody get that the Wii will probably hit 3 million units sold in Japan in 10 weeks? That's only halfway into August. 9 months on the market. BEFORE any of the big guns hit.

I'll say it.
The Wii is having as successful of a hardware launch as any that have come before it.

Damn, I was hoping the DS would be down until Dec and scream past the PS2. Oh well, I'm assuming it'll realistically pass it in November or something. Props to JJ and PL.

yes Ive been spouting that mantra for several posts.
Its definitely selling up there with the best of them. Its just mind boggling how quickly and obviously Japan has switched game/brand preferences. Im beginning to wonder if maybe the DS success really did spill over to the wii since it rebuilt a lot of trust from third parties and people are actually giving nintendo another shot at relevance. Gamesl ike DQS certainly dont hurt, but what else does Wii have in Japan at the moment or coming soon?
