In this case, I think
a picture is worth a thousand words, or four million consoles.
Indeed, the Wii is rising to heaven, selling like mad no matter what the week, nice to see Ninty consistantly shipping consoles to, avg 260k per 4 wks, not bad, especially with a large bump to be had when DQ:S comes out in 3 weeks.
DS is no longer in shortage like it was for over a year (I Still say wtf when I think that), but is "supply constrained" to quote Sony, they have stock, but what is there doesn't last long, and you wont see the same (New) DS on a shelf week to week, I expect 130k ish pw til holiday, when it goes off like a firework again, passing PS2 in a blaze of DQ9 fuelled glory.
PSP is selling "ok" it's not great, but if it weren't for the DS, Sony would be pretty happy with it, a PSPLite style re-design will give it an extra 10/15k p/w for a few months also, and I think Sony will produce one this year.
PS2 is on its last legs, still got a few games left in it, but will be/is being superceeded by Wii (Sorry Sony), as the mainstream console of choice in Japan, I think sales will taper down to 10k > by end of year.
PS3 sales are laughable, if any Sony exec even tries to justify such abysmal sales figures in Japan it is because they have a gun to their heads, I honestly thought GAF would implode if sales of PS3 would dip below 10k, 7 weeks on, I think the community has stopped caring, 10k avg until...well, the holidays, a golf game, no matter how good, will not push it above 30k for that week, and will quickly sail to 10k > within a fortnight, Sony have a dead system in Japan until at least MGS4/FF13, and even then they will be too late.
360, hah, dead, gone, TB aside the 360 has been a niche (Read, very niche) system since day 1, that wont change, the ironic thing of course is that if MS just spent a modest amount on Japan, they would have probably shifted the same amount of units, and wouldn't be bleeding millions, instead they tried the moneyhat route and have failed, miserably, wake me when it hits 500k, which, at this rate wont be until next year.
Edit: Just what was that vid about? I can't check it due to work, it wasn't trying to say the PS3 is selling well, was it? seriously? :lol
Do you also have absolute lowest?
