Also congratulations! (I was banned..)
I know some one brought it up earlier, so I may aswell ask, the trusty bell core pack, do the core (which i assume is the tard) sell better in japan compared to other regions?

Vinnk said:TOTALS:
Wii: 3
DS lite:
Eye Training: 13
RE4: 13
Ninja Gaiden: 33
Trusty Bell: 10 (+4 bundles)
NOTES:
1. Wii is still very supply constrained. Any store that does have them doesnt have them for long. I think I can copy and paste this statement until after Christmas.
4. Biohazard 4 was sold out from the game specialty shops (but not the department stores) earlier this week. But Best Denki for some reason has new ones already. The other stores, I assume will be restocked soon (or are already).
7. Eye training is the opposite of Trusty Bell and RE4, the department stores are sold out and the gaming stores still have copies left. It might be like brain training 2 saw when it first came out. Casuals were going into game stores for the first time ever because they couldnt find the games they wanted at normal stores. They always looked a bit frightened..

OH SNAP! I knew it was tracking worse than the Gamecube, but I didn't realise it was quite this bad.JoshuaJSlone said:At 31 weeks, PS3 is where GCN was at 15.9 weeks (December 29, 2001).
JoshuaJSlone said:: At 28 weeks, Wii is where GCN was at 117.2 weeks (December 8, 2003), where DS was at 33.6 weeks (July 21, 2005), where PS2 was at 27.5 weeks (September 6, 2000), and where PSP was at 55.9 weeks (December 31, 2005).
At 31 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 3.6 weeks (March 22, 2000), where PSP was at 11.9 weeks (February 26, 2005), where GCN was at 15.9 weeks (December 29, 2001), and where Wii was at 5.0 weeks (December 30, 2006).
Weekly shares of 12.0 / 88.0, which is really quite consistent. For the past 9 weeks PS3 has always had 11.1-14.4%, leaving Wii with 85.6-88.9%. Total percents are now 25.6 / 74.4. If Wii stops selling and PS3 continues at this week's rate, it catches up in 199.4 weeks (April 5, 2011).
PS2 vs DS: At this week's rates, PS2 and DS will meet in 28.2 weeks (December 24, 2007) at 20.85 million apiece.

Wow, I was pretty much going to say the exact same thing before reading your post.Gaborn said:WOW, I know it's NPD week but this thread died quicker than anyone could expect. Love Vinnk's Village as always but am I the only one that is seriously missing PantherLotus's analysis? I LOVE his charts and his analysis, he really puts things into perspective. Plus JoshuaJSlone and his hardware comparisons and "if Wii stopped selling PS3 would catch up in..." are fascinating and convenient. That takes nothing away from donny with his myriad charts and insight though, or Cheesemeister of course for providing the data in a clear, easy to understand pie chart.
Basically, I just want to thank all of you guys. I've been relatively quiet around here but I really think people don't say it enough and it's quiet anyway. You guys though MAKE these threads possible and worth reading. I'm sure I've missed someone and for that I apologize. NPD has amazingness and meltdowns concentrated in one week, but consistently the media create threads provide awesomeness and entertainment week in and week out.

To the first, I'm thinking it will be October-ish the way things are going. I should mention I'm ignoring Media Create's GCN LTD, since it's a couple hundred thousand beyond what Nintendo claims to have shipped.apujanata said:I wonder when will we get to "Wii is where GCN was at infinity weeks" (since GCN has not managed to sell as much as the Wii did) and "If Wii stops selling and PS3 continues at this weeks's rate, it catches up in 1000 weeks"
They'll need to pick up the pace a little. To be apples-to-apples, I'll use Famitsu numbers for both GCN and PS3.apujanata said:It will get better in the future, since GCN died down after christmas. GCN only managed to sell 1,129,300 in 2002, which means average weekly of only 21.7K. I believe PS3 will manage to beat that weekly rate in 2007.
Oh, yeah. If next week's MC Wii number is at all like this week's, the MC Wii number will have outpaced the Famitsu PS2 number. That's a bit apples-to-oranges and Famitsu's Wii number is slightly lower, but Famitsu's Wii should outpace Famitsu's PS2 shortly thereafter.apotema said:Will Wii outpace PS2 before Christmas 2000??? Strange sentence
Maybe the site we used to use lost access because Media-Create licensed the numbers to this new site?Toru said:iNSIDE, a Japanese game news site, started to report the MC numbers, from the top to the 30th, with numbers for top 10 as same as NTT eg.
Here is this week's number. A problem I see is that URLs for each week is not predictable.

I always think that Nintendo could probably sell more total with a sequel or two, than keep extending catalogue sales, but they seem to do fine just without. Plus they've hardly done any expansion (only 2500 staff, even some third party pubs have more), so they've got to allocate development resources stingily. Why they don't expand is beyond me!charlequin said:This is what I've been saying too. BT2 didn't meaningfully hurt the sales of BT1; people seemed to just buy both instead of only the sequel. I think the window on NSMB is longer, but I expect we'd see the same pattern here -- possibly even more, since I imagine there's less duplicated content in a theoretical NSMB2 compared to its predecessor than in BT2 compared to BT1.
Tomorrow I believe. I only know this because this very question has been asked a couple dozen times today.kisakiproject said:So when does sinobi usually update his blog with first day numbers. Trusty bell and Sigma, need to know.

I hadn't considered that possibility. That could be.cvxfreak said:Joshua, do you think the Q might account for the difference between MC's GC total and Nintendo's shipments?
I can't imagine the Q having sold less than, say, the original Xbox...
PantherLotus said:●The 360's sales are insignificant.It's over, folks. 2k-4k per week for the foreseeable future.
PantherLotus said:●The PS3's sales are insignificant.Sorry, folks. Nothing to see here. Move along. We will announce results after a full investigation but at this point we're calling it an accident but not ruling out homicide. 6-11k per week for the foreseeable future.
Juwanna Peezadis said:I really want to see the 360 outsell the PS3 next week due to Trustybump. I think Panther's 360 estimate it too low though. I bet it'll be more in the 4-5k range. I don't expect Sigma to do much for the PS3 though.
No, this is not a ban bet.
