Hey kids don't be surprised if smegmabump and trustybump aren't nearly as big as you're thinking...a predicted 100% increase is a bit too generous.

100% is doable for the 360 at least, if Famitsu's HW is even partly accurate.

I am not sure about that.
if we take a look at this graph, you'll see specific software launches helped drive higher hardware sales.
Mario, FFXII:RW, Cooking Navi, Pokemon all helped the DS sell more, didn't they?
Unless Nintendo held hardware units on purpose to match the software in those specific weeks, I think software did help hardware, specially in the cases I mentioned.
the DS lite, as of late June 2007, is no longer supply constrained, according to some gaffers in Japan. If hardware sales are high next week, I think it's safe to say it was because of colors and attractive games, not only because it is the DS lite and whatever Nintendo ships, the Japanese buy.

I use the same philosophy to rate my estimations. I could throw out a "15k!" one week, nearly 500% higher than what every respectable analyst would predict...and still be within 12k of actual sales.
Dragona Akehi said:
I am starting to think that there aren't slow weeks, it's just that DS software is "too fast".
I mean, it takes LONG, long weeks for the HD consoles to get premier exclusive titles like TB and NGS, yet we are labeling this a slow week.... Something is wrong somehwere...I guess this is a side effect of the DS having Japan grabbed by the balls.

Go back and look at the the PS2 and its relative success. It had big games coming out all the time. Did I miss what you said?
PantherLotus said:
Difference between PS2 and DS software may be that PS2 games were very frontloaded (my guess, I am not very sure). On the other hand DS games just keep selling healthy 15k-20- units per week, like time has absolutely no effect on them.
I am thinking that if the 10-15 DS games that refuse to leave the top 30 stopped selling, we would have far more interesting MC top 50 lists, with more games from other platforms. That's what I mean with " DS games are too fast ".

I really want to see the 360 outsell the PS3 this week, just to see the complete meltdown of the internet.

Oh, well, I had read in the very anecdotal Vinnk's report that the game was fairly supply constrained at this time, but it's true that it was mentioned that the restock would be effective very soon after that...So I guess it is possible that nobody bought the restock after all.

Very very slow week.
+ DS is still top of the top. New Super Mario Bros. still in the top 10
+ Animal Crossing near the Top 10. SOOO close.
+ Good sales for Trusty Bell and Sigma, considering how poor the SW sales usually are.
- Too many training games in the Top 10.
- Japan baffles me, but I must accept, that they like games that are different from the deemed "AAA titles" by our respected publications.
But you know, I'm not too disappointed with how quickly RE and HM did on the Wii. Low sales, but I expected it. PLUS we must realize they were never too popular in Japa...
at least Resident Evil has been dwindling. Harvest Moon they just don't seem to like console versions.

Why is the word s*** allowed uncensored on GAF? What's the point? Clean up your language por favor, I like reading topics in peace
Stormbringer said:
Perhaps I need to have someone read over my posts before I put them up, because that is not the message I was trying to convey at all. Biohazard 4 is not now and has never been supply constrained. I mentioned in my report that a few dedicated gaming stores had sold out, but that it was easily available at any department store. I also mentioned that I didn't know what the original shipment was.
Thus, selling out might have been that a store sold all 3 of their copies.
If my message came out differently than that, I apologize for the confusion.

Is there any reason at all to believe there weren't extra large hardware shipments to go along with extra large games? You reference an image with a big "DS Shortages" patch shown. If there were truly shortages, there wouldn't be an extra hundred thousand sitting around to allow for such bumps.sphinx said:
