All DQS needs to do is sell 1000 copy for 100 days, for it to break 400k, do you seriously think this won't happen, how much do you think DQS will sell next week? 0 copies?

10% of wii owners in japan Own DQS after it' first week of release.
Square-enix are definitley happy. Unless the bottom falls out from underneath it.. it's safe to assume this title sells 500k+ easily
With the cheap dev cost on wii and these types of sales (on a spin off at that), higher profit margins are to be expected on wii.
more love from Square-enix for the Wii soon me thinks.

That's right...the full title is Daigasso! Band Bros. It's a music game, the best one in existance, in fact. If you/she can find it, get the expansion cartridge for extra songs as well.

Shh, meaningful arguments are useless, you have to use shoddy maths (Adding up percentages, calling PS3 to sell 100k per week in 20 weeks based on maths Lance still hasn't explained), ignore actual evidence that doesn't suit you, and create trends that do not exist (PS3 sold almost as much as Wii did in its worst week, the Gundabump vs the week after, thus the PS3 is going to outsell Wii from now on), and generally ignore reality, then you'll get through to him.

Fraud is just the word, if it weren't for the fact that nobody here is buying it, Lance would be getting away with lies that make would make even the most deluded of SCE execs blush, he is suffering from a complete misconception of reality.
ethelred said:
Anything can happen but judging by the usual sales trend of games that chart, a game has legs usually maintains those legs over the long haul. I do not currently recall a title that stuck around on the charts top 5 for 3 weeks only to suddenly drop off in their 4th or 5th week.
PH is pretty much a guaranteed million seller IMHO and it will probably exit and re-enter the top 10 several times in its career on the charts.

Here you guys go:
+ Very notable at some of the dramatic percentage rise and falls of the Xbox 360
+ Wii sales got a very good boost this week. i'm wondering if it's because Nintendo shipped more Wii's, or DQS sold them?
But really, i honestly am happy to see PS3 sales increasing each week. It may be very small yes, but better for a Next Generation System with awesome features and upcoming games to be increasing (slowly) in sales, than decreasing right?
In terms of Zelda Phantom Hourglass, you know it's showing very nice sales for (3?) weeks now, and is certainly very close to a million seller. But as most DS games are unpredictable, it could do like Yoshi's Island 2 did not to long ago and hit a wall.
I'm calling that it will not hit a million, but around a 800k-900k LTD. So in track with my previous predictions...

It's mostly a case of reverse fanboyism. I'm a Nintendo fanboy, but I don't want my results to seem unduly Wii-praising coming from a biased source. Those numbers indicate Wii is 8 weeks ahead of PS2, but due to some unknown quantity of missing PS2 data that's probably not the case. Whether that quantity is closest to 0, 200K, 400K, 500K is hard to say.JJConrad said:
Sorry I didn't make note of this so I can't link to it now, but a few weeks back Enterbrain mentioned a PS2 number that seemed to be about 500K higher than what the historical Famitsu data would've showed. I thought perhaps that was adjusting for the online sales, but what it really means is hard to say.

Can you give it up already? Noone will for a second take your data into consideration for one second after the whole DQS and Statistical Noise thing. You ignore when people question you and act as if they don't exist. Why do you keep trying when you're proven time and time again that you're WRONG.LanceStern said:

You know, 800k doesn't really seem all that impressive. I mean, it's not a very good looking number.
I'm not ready to call success unless we really start to get into 7 digits, I mean, that's a prettier number.

Results/Analysis
Current NDS 2007 YTD: 4,252,375
Current NDS 2006 YTD: 3,849,643 (Same period)
A. The Nintendo DS has beaten both it's Q2 2006 and Q2 2005 YTD by ~ 100k and 2.5 million respectably
- The DSs 2007 YTD by Week 22 is just shy of 130,000 units. It is guaranteed to beat it's 06 (Wk. 26) YTD AT LEAST two weeks earlier by Week 24
B. For the Nintendo DS to beat it's 2006 YTD by the end of Q3 (Week 39 2006: 5,790,402), it would have to sell an average of 140,000 units each week for the next 11 weeks
- The DS, before the release of new colors was averaging 105k - 120k each week, meaning for the first time this year, the DS may not beat its 2006 YTD
- Some key releases and perhaps a price drop however, may just propel it WELL above 140,000, which could drastically lower the average it needs to beat Q3 2007
C. The Nintendo DS in Q3 2006 (Week 27 - Week 39) sold 2.24 million units; For the DS in Q3 2007 to beat it, it would have to sell an average of 179,000 units each week for 11 weeks
- That might just be impossible at the DS's current level. But it's so close considering how absolutely insane DS 2006 was selling.

Joshua I need some help... I can never get my chart pictures to be as big or clear as yours or panthers.
My exact method of getting them onto GAF:
1. Make it in excel (the Zoom is at 85% if that affects anything)
2. Click on the chart and copy it "As shown on screen" and "Picture" format into Microsoft Paint
3. Save the file as a PNG or JPEG, doesn't matter because the next step:
4. I load it to Photobucket then paste it here and it's the same quality.
Any idea?

I'm happy because it supports the Next Generation more. We can have the extremely fun casual, non-traditonal games on the Wii along with quality 1st and 3rd party exclusives.
And then if the PS3 can keep this up and get to decent weekly sales, we can have the Big, epic, next-gen games like Call of Duty 4, FFXIII, MGS4 that will drop the jaw graphically, audibly and maybe even gameplay wise.
We would never get there in Japan however, unless PS3 starts selling decently. The 5 week increase in sales is very insignificantly small yes, but it is promising and shows there is still plenty of room for growth.
Therefore:

Oh dear...
Yeah, because Twilight Princess wasn't a global multi-million-selling smash. Of course Nintendo wasn't happy with its Japanese sales, but all that means is that they'll try to improve future Zelda games' appeal to the Japanese market. They're not simply going to stop producing a money-printing franchise simply because of tepid sales in one market. The Zelda series is not in any sort of danger and certainly does not need any "saving."

I would like to quickly apologize to the thread members here for that outbreak of lunacy I displayed back then. In an attempt at my own personal amusement (which is was funny to me, I'll admit), it is a very bad way to represent the lifestyle of the one person that matters to me.
"A fool is wise in his own eyes" as Proverbs says (from the good Book), and I can't walk around on this forum acting as... uh.. eccentric as a do, and then walk around the real world talking about and trying to live a saved, completely different life yes?
Fortunately, God is forgiving, as is Dragona, who saw fit not to ban me there >_>
So while this is probably already etched in your memory... uh, I'll try to be less outspoken in forthcoming threads (if that's the word I'm looking for).
Until then, I am sleepy. I logoff, I pray, I change clothes, I sleep.
Sorry again Gaming Pals
God Bless

Everyone like to blame Wii Fit. That is, until they get their hands on the actual game itself.
Then they will go something like : "What is gaming ? Gaming is for nerd. Me do Wii Fit, me get bazillion of girls that are in awe of our six pack abs". Gaming is killed by Nintendo, confirmed.
Fixed.
