christ, i even put a freakin wink after it

 

[Jammy]

I think Nintendo just shipped less units for both systems for the week. The DS dropped a hefty amount too. On good weeks they'll usually get more than 150,000 out there and 75,000 Wiis.

Ah, a math major.

Actually I was (and still am in the field for the most part), I always sucked at those signs though, in grade school the guy who taught me those signs told the class that the number on the same side of the gap was bigger. I definitely came off with the wrong impression and that always stuck. :\

Think "Alligator wants to eat the big number"

That's how I learned it.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Does the sustained presence of the PS3 at these numbers have precedent with Gundabump? How long did it keep the PS3 afloat?

 

[Sean*O]

Interesting that ESIV stayed in the charts for more than one week.

 

[Culex]

We need to start the GC takeover watch. The Wii is under 1 milion units to go until it surpasses the GC.

WII - 61,498 | 77,169 | 2,365,438 | 3,285,081
NGC - 68 | 102 | 9,000 | 4,178,468

So if the Wii averages 60k a week from here on out, it'll pass the GC in 15 weeks, or on Nov. 22 this year, nearly 1 year to the day of it's launch week.

preparing for the Metroid overseas, or maybe just getting holiday stocks up in general?

Famitsu: 2 weeks until PS3 sales were back to pre-Gundam levels (actually lower).
m-create: 4 weeks until sales back below pre-gundam levels.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Wii comparisons: At 36 weeks, Wii is where GCN was at 136.2 weeks (April 19, 2004), where GBA was at 29.2 weeks (October 8, 2001), where DS was at 43.5 weeks (September 28, 2005), where PS2 was at 48.2 weeks (January 29, 2001), and where PSP was at 70.7 weeks (April 14, 2006).

PS3 comparisons: At 39 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 4.4 weeks (March 29, 2000), where PSP was at 14.5 weeks (March 16, 2005), where GCN was at 16.8 weeks (January 4, 2002), and where Wii was at 5.6 weeks (January 4, 2007).

DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 80.0 / 20.0, bringing total shares to 76.4 / 23.6. If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 381.0 weeks (November 24, 2014).

PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 28.3 / 71.7. Slightly better for PS3 than last week. Like last week, this tips the total numbers back a bit in PS3's favor, too, which are now 24.1 / 75.9. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 92.4 weeks (May 13, 2009).

PSP vs Wii: At this week's rates, Wii catches up to PSP in 90.6 weeks (May 1, 2009).

PS2 vs DS: At this week's rates, PS2 and DS meet in 15.8 weeks (November 23, 2007) at ~20.85 million apiece.


Nintendo passes 7 million systems sold this week. At 31 weeks, this is quicker than last year's 46 weeks.

YTD pie, featuring GCN and GBA screwing up the display for X360 and GBASP, respectively.

Speaking of, can somebody post sales for PS2 from mid-to-late summer of the PS2's first full year?

This? From Famitsu summer 2000

That's the first year, but not the first full year.

Famitsu, weeks of 2001-07-02 through 2001-08-27
79,867
88,286
156,471
103,263
75,283
138,317 (2 combined weeks)
60,019
51,236

It had its own big bump like Wii just had, but due to Final Fantasy X.

Does the sustained presence of the PS3 at these numbers have precedent with Gundabump? How long did it keep the PS3 afloat?

Gundabump and the two weeks following:
44,000
32,115
21,635

that is the truly mindblowing stat of this thread.

I'll just keep writing in the 0 when I need them, I always seem to remember it right then. :lol

Wouldn't Pac-Man be more appropriate, though?

It would if that's what I had been taught.

Also, no Pacman key on keyboard. There is an alligator mouth though.

 

[KevinRo]

PS2 vs DS: At this week's rates, PS2 and DS meet in 15.8 weeks (November 23, 2007) at ~20.85 million apiece.

I hope some people have some gifs ready for this momentous occasion.

 

[Evlar]

OK... Realistically, when will DS pass PS2? I know the continuous sales assumption has them crossing on November 23, per Joshua's post. But we know DS will get a bigger boost than PS2 as the holidays approach and big games are released, meaning that the likely DS Day is earlier than that. Predictions?

I'm staking it on the first week of November.

 

[PantherLotus]

that is the truly mindblowing stat of this thread.

That's the one that I think is the most mindblowing comparison. This thing is 2 months+ ahead of where the PS2 was at. And the PS2 is one of the greatest selling consoles of all time. It would be interesting to see how many people here think that the Wii will magically drop off in sales and never reach that magical status of best ever.

 

[Paws of Fury]

Big drop for Wii, I say, and I think it'll go below 60k next week since the frenzy has cooled of and you can buy Wii everywhere now.

Im gonna guess the ones who also think the Ps3 will sell over 200k in the July NPD thread.

yeah that sounds about right. when does DQ9 drop? is that next year?

I wonder how long it'll be before Wii begins tracking ahead of the GBA.

 

[Great Rumbler]

that is the truly mindblowing stat of this thread.

For me it's the chart that shows PS3 vs. Gamecube. It's just absolutely mind-blowing that the Gamecube is reached one million sales in half the time it took the PS3.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Whoo LanceStern was banned. Best week ever.

 

[Galactic Fork]

Hmm I wonder if the DS will pass the ps2 the same week the Wii passes the Gamecube.

NEXT GEN WEEKLY SALES 36

Since 11/27/07:
36 Total Weeks of Next Gen sales. <-- 9 TOTAL MONTHS (3/4 YEAR)
30 Total Weeks of post-holiday sales.

Trends & Predictions
Trends are determined by the last 4 weeks of data. Averages are determined by total sales divided by the number of weeks posted above. Outside factors are considered (such as big releases, holidays, etc) when determining current trends and establishing predictions. Trend results are not an average. Previous week's success rate included for accountability.

360 - Established Trend: 2-4k. Next Gen Avg = 6,217. Post Holiday Avg = 3,830.
Wii - Adjusting Trend: 60-85k. Next Gen Avg = 91,252. Post Holiday Avg = 72,337.
PS3 - Established Trend: 9-13k. Next Gen Avg = 24,599. Post Holiday Avg = 17,149.

Expectations for 08/06 - 08/12
360 - 2.9k <-- within .3k the previous week. This will seemingly never change.

Wii - 70k <-- way the hell off last week (30k). Low supplies or fewer dollars to spend when the PS3 goes up? Watch the correlation between total consoles sold and the weekly market share (70%-87%). The return of supply constraints? Before MP8's release, we were seeing 64-75k. I think we will see a return to that.

PS3 - 17k <-- Pretty far off again (10k). Notice the correlation to the gundabump...it's almost gross, just knowing we could be looking at sub-15k sales in a few weeks.

Significant Notes:
&#9679; The Wii has extended its lead to 2,243,103 over the PS3.
&#9679; 88,478 consoles sold this week. Wii had 69.51% of all console sales.
&#9679; The Wii only outsold the PS3 2.53:1 this week.
&#9679; The 5 million Wii watch party continues...expected to cross the 5 mil. mark around 01/01/08.
&#9679; The PS3 has actually gained market share for two weeks in a row!! (21.85% -> 21.95% -> 22.05%)
&#9679; The Wii has had 2/3rds+ marketshare for over 3 months now, but still hasn't reached 70%.
&#9679; This is the closest the PS3 has been to the Wii since March.

I cant stop watching, I feel evil. I also cant fathom Gamecubes LTD with Wii's. Gamecube only sold 4 million? And the Wii is about to trump that in less than 2 years. :O

 

[Great Rumbler]

Of all the charts posted so far, I'd say this is the most informative. It gives us all of the different spikes and the weeks just following them for both the Wii and the PS3.

What, how God-shit-fucking-retarded your statement was? Yes, in fact.

Thanks for the headache, dude, I don't even have any whiskey in the house tonight.
