It will drop like a rock next week, but will sell well once the next shipment arrives.
The Wii is on fire and no hose can put it down.

Nah, hes only spinning figures, lying (Predicting 100,000 PS3 sales by the end of the year using some non-existent maths), ignoring this weeks Wii sales to make it look like PS3 has had sales increases a higher % over the same time period, and generally ignoring reality, that's not even close to PS3Forums standards yet.
LanceStern said:
Because it doesn't suit you, we know.
LanceStern said:
Can someone tell me if any of the games coming out for PS3 this fall are system selllers in the Japanese market? I don't see Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, or Ratchet and Clank significantly boosting the numbers.
GT5: Prologue maybe? Is there some forthcoming gundam action on the PS3 I'm forgetting about? A Railfan sequel?
LanceStern said:
Instead of releasing your data one at a time, why don't you put them all together in a nice table side by side so we can visually compare the numbers.
It's not that hard, there's a program called excel that can calculate percentages for you so you don't have to use math at all.

RiskyChris said:
You guys are getting percentages can be misleading and useless sometimes?
The good thing is, PS3 sales have been increasing each week, as has the nintendo Wii.
You attack me when I don't celebrate a 3rd party game (that I think isn't doing well, which for the record I'm NOT talking about DQS), then when I try to be positive about a system that I think is improving, you try to kill that too.
Is there no end?
Stop It said:
That doesn't even make sense.
I did not include the last week of Wii for two reasons:
1) Because it misleads the data. The Wii had a big release this last week and doesn't accurately represent its weekly sales

I think Tabris is getting Lance to do his dirty work for him.
I can't believe he seriously tried to pass off altered weeks as legitimate sources of comparison. That just boggles the mind.
*edit*
Shit, then by all means totally disregard the week of June 14th on the PS3 sales charts too.

Are these threads getting better or worst since the recent boost of the PS3 sales?
It's the fact that you're celebrating over numbers that aren't even creating a blip on the radar. As has been stated on the last page, it's all just statistical noise compared to the 30K increase by the Wii this week alone. Blame the current sales trend if you want but these days we're interested about consoles/handhelds selling 60K+ each week, not the dull roar when a system would hit 40K tops for the week during a big game release.LanceStern said:
LanceStern said:
statistics r hard
LanceStern said:
Wait, wait, wait... are you trying to imply that selling well means big games get released on your system which helps you sell even better? Good lord, man, I think you've stumbled upon something that could truly revolutionize our understanding of sales analysis. Someone get Michael Pachter on the line, stat.
LanceStern said:
Yes it does, have you ever taken a loan? it works using compound interest, simply put, it calculates interest by adding on a value, then adding the next value onto the subtotal, example:
100 +10% compound interest 3 times, = 100 + 10% (110), 110 + 10% (121), 121 + 10% (133.1), what I done is added 6% (Which is the average increase of PS3 from the last 5 weeks) and applied it using the same system described above 20 times, which got me 43,273, simple GCSE level maths, how the hell else do you calculate it?

Oh yeah. It had the huge start like PS2/DS, without PS2's later troubling shortages or DS's so-so first-half 2005. Pretty sure it has the biggest first year Japanese gaming has yet seen, though Wii is on track to be #2.
I've not run these calculations, but wouldn't doubling PS3 sales mean 27,000 per week?LanceStern said:

And with that you not only have branded your self as an idiot but you also given yourself a big electronic L for your account.

I thought he couldn't top his initial denial of DQ:S sales (Apparently predicting 120k for first week sales was "close"), but boy, he has, in brilliant style, bravo to him, he has stuck to his guns, shame those guns have been super soakers, filled with treacle.

Some of the games that have >75% First week sales (all famitsu based):
Kingdom Hearts II : 81.35% (LTD up to 25-Jun-06)
Final Fantasy XII : 79.25% (LTD up to 31-Dec-06)
Winning Eleven 8 : 78.07% (LTD up to 6-Nov-04)
Genso Suikoden IV :93.55% (LTD up to 25-Jun-06)
On the other side of the list, the LOWEST ever is :
Brain Age (Nou) : 1.31% (LTD up to 24-Jun-07)
The second closest : Big Brain Academy (Yawaraka Atamajuku) : 3.95% (LTD up to 31-Dec-06)
Please note that I don't have the complete list of all game between 2003 and 2007, so I might miss something
(I was busy with work around 2005-2006, so I got lots of missing data in that year).I wonder why you keep posting this so often? I'm not even sure it completely true and is little more than the Walmart excuse. Iirc, there were suppose to be only about 500k PS2s shipped to retail at launch, with the other half going to their online orders. Therefore, Enterbrain either overcounted or they had taken online sales into consideration. We don't know for sure how far off Enterbrain truely was or if/when they corrected their figures. We do know that Sony uses some rather questionable methods when counting what they've sold, so I don't think we should take just their word for it. We also don't know how much was over/under counted for all these other consoles. None of the comparisons should be taken as gospel, I just don't see a need for the special disclaimer.JoshuaJSlone said:

Going by that, I reckon it'll hit 800-850k, apart from week 2, it is tracking pretty near to WW, and for some reason, I still expect it to drop like a stone soon, I want to it to become a non-game, but I just can't see it happening
You realize that this doesn't include this week's numbers, right? According to MC it barely dropped.Stop It said:Going by that, I reckon it'll hit 800-850k, apart from week 2, it is tracking pretty near to WW, and for some reason, I still expect it to drop like a stone soon, I want to it to become a non-game, but I just can't see it happening

Considering what Media Create's showing Zelda's fourth week numbers as, I'm starting to think this one might go all the way. I don't know what Wind Waker did in its fourth week on Famitsu, but it had to have plummeted -- removing its first three weeks, it only sold 300k more total to reach its LTD. So it certainly didn't do another ~80k. Phantom Hourglass, on the other hand...

I know I know, and I really want to see PH get to a mil in Japan alone, hell I want it to outdo OoT, and I am certainly buying it when it hits shelves in the UK, something is just telling me that it'll sell well for the next couple of weeks and never get seen again, we'll see but I haven't got my hopes up just yet.
Still fairly meaningless but here at least are real numbers form the time period in question. Im no analyst but I would say the Wii gained more in this disputed time span both unit and percentage wise. Why if Wii continues at this rate it's be selling 1 million a week in 5 years!
Wii
June 12-18th 65,521
July 9-15th 109,854
P33
June 12-18th 9,481
July 9-15th 13,493
But I suppose we have to throw these numbers away because games people wanted came out putting the Wii at an unfair advantage.
