Wii comparisons: At 32 weeks, Wii is where GCN was at 119.8 weeks (December 26, 2003), where GBA was at 23.3 weeks (August 28, 2001), where DS was at 37.9 weeks (August 20, 2005), where PS2 was at 40.4 weeks (December 5, 2000), and where PSP was at 60.3 weeks (January 31, 2006).

Who knows. By the end of the year it should have passed PS2 and the original model Game Boy, thus becoming the best-selling Japanese game system ever. Since it's not like the population has shot up in the last decade, this will also give it the highest systemopulation ratio ever, while continuing to have the best weekly sales of a system ever. There's no precedent for a system as successful as DS, so it's hard to say how far it will go.ThaiGrocer said:These numbers are incredible. Is there any predicted "over-saturation" point for Japan with DS sales? DS owners to Japanese population ratio are already over 1:10.
Jokeropia said:Wii sales are incredibly consistent.
Anyway, did Saturn get a boost at some point later on? Because if it sold 5-6 million in Japan LTD then it did better than GC which the PS3 is tracking further behind.
Oh yeah. Based on the Famitsu numbers and the extra half million or so Sony seems to have sold online, PS2 through 52 weeks would be right around 4 million. Actually, 4 million is what the GameCube's total was, so it should pass those two milestones at about the same time... Anyway, that means Wii needs to sell ~1.05 million in the next 25 weeks, an average of 42K a week. It hasn't had a single week that low yet.legend166 said:Who was the guy I made a bet with about the first 52 weeks of the Wii being better than the first 52 weeks of the PS2?
I'm pretty safe right, Josh?

"Based on the typical front-line retail price for Wii titles, we estimate that publishers need to sell approximately 300,000 units per title to break even. In contrast, we estimate that breakeven units for front-line Xbox 360 and PS3 titles are in the 600,000-unit range, or at least double the Wii's break even level."

ComputerNerd said:During the PS2's heyday, what would it normally get in a week in the middle of summer? I totally forgot how things were back then.
I think the GC was around the low 10's. Was the PS2 consistently around the 40's?
Edit - I'm talking about when there were no supply problems.

3. Zelda is back on the shelves. It wasnt earlier this week so I am not sure what time this restock happened. If it happened a few days ago, the rush for this game is over. It the restock happened today, it is hard to say. I will check back later this week and see if it sells out again or if the supply has met the demand.
4. There were many copies of Dragon Quest: Swords to be found. But I went shopping for my report earlier than I usually do (around 4:00pm) so I didnt expect the game to be sold out already as it had only been on sale for a few hours. I will stop in again mid week to get a better idea of how it is selling. I did however notice that a large number of people in the checkout line had a copy of this game in their hands. It might be like Zelda where it takes a few days to sell out (not that selling out is assured).
5. Still no used Trusty Bell bundles in my town. Which is odd as Blue Dragon ones started appearing right away. Maybe they didnt make many TB ones.
6. Dragon Quest: Swords is a great game. I almost never buy RPGs in Japanese because I like to be able to easily read the story (without the help of a dictionary) but I am glad I bought this one. I am having a blast with it.

What are the Gyakuten Saiban 4 sales so far and how does it track compared to it's Japanese counterparts?
Also, what are the USA sales in comparison?

apujanata said:You can try asking Hiro from Famicom Dojo when he get the restock ? (and assume that other shop got the restock the same day as Hiro).
If you can check back later for DQ:S and ZeldaH, it will be really appreciated. How earlier you did the checkout ? Around Noon, Japan time today (while you go out and buy DQ:S ?) ?
I noticed that you might not bought the game from Famicom Dojo, since that shop have no stock. Am I correct ?
I believe that Famicom Dojo might have a difficult life doing business in the future, since their main business is doing Famicom / Super Famicom used game sales, at the price point of 2000 Yen. Nowadays, people can download F/SF VC game on Wii for more or less the same price, or even cheaper (probably only 500 Yen for F, 800 Yen for SF). What do you think about this ?
