I don't think Nintendo is to worried right now. They have two big games coming up, so meh.
WOW (week over week) changes:
PSP 95,487 ← 15,564 (+514%)
DSL 79,974 ← 77,488 　 (+3%)
Wii 　26,181 ← 29,088　(-10%)
PS2 13,128 ← 13,360　　(-1%)
PS3 13,101 ← 13,248　　(-1%)

What I can't figure out is why Electronic Arts awarded Peter Moore 400,000 shares (almost $22,000,000) Monday.

Wii comparisons: At 42 weeks, Wii is where GCN was at 171.4 weeks (December 21, 2004), where GBA was at 36.9 weeks (December 1, 2001), where DS was at 49.8 weeks (November 11, 2005), where PS2 was at 54.6 weeks (March 14, 2001), and where PSP was at 80.5 weeks (June 21, 2006).
PS3 comparisons: At 45 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 5.1 weeks (April 2, 2000), where PSP was at 17.2 weeks (April 4, 2005), where GCN was at 20.3 weeks (January 29, 2002), and where Wii was at 6.3 weeks (January 9, 2007).
DS vs PSP: Weekly shares of 45.6 / 54.4, bringing the total shares to 76.3 / 23.7. This reversal in PSP's favor brings the total shares back to where they were the week of June 16. At this week's rates, PSP catches up to DS in 860.7 weeks (March 16, 2024) at ~88.2 million apiece. If DS stopped selling and PSP continued at this rate, it would catch up in 139.7 weeks (May 21, 2010).
PS3 vs Wii: Weekly shares of 33.3 / 66.7, PS3's best share since the week of March 5 during Gundabump. This brings the total shares to 24.3 / 75.7. If Wii stopped selling and PS3 continued at this week's rate, it would catch up in 184.7 weeks (April 1, 2011).
PSP vs Wii: Of course, at this week's rates Wii never catches up to PSP. Or as the calculations say, it catches up in -35.3 weeks (January 13, 2007).
PS2 vs DS: At this week's rates, DS catches up to PS2 in 20.6 weeks (February 6, 2008) at ~21.0 million apiece.
Thanks to recent low weeks, DS 2007 has fallen behind DS 2006 through week 37.
At week 37, Nintendo reaches 8 million YTD. Last year it took until week 49.
So the thing of most interest to me right now is the Wii dip, and whether this means Wii might not pass GCN's LTD within one year as most of us had been assuming it would. It's certainly becoming more difficult, but I think is still possible. I'm going to go with Famitsu numbers here since as I've said before it seems to match better with Nintendo's shipment numbers. To pretend it's for MC's couple-hundred-thousand-higher total, though, add 20K to each week.
Wii needs another ~520K in 11 remaining Famitsu weeks, averaging ~47K a week. I'll assume this low period will continue for a while, so alternately it could be achieved by something like...
2007-09-10: 30K
2007-09-17: 30K
2007-09-24: 30K
2007-10-01: 30K
2007-10-08: 30K
2007-10-15: 30K
2007-10-22: 30K
2007-10-29: 100K
2007-11-05: 80K
2007-11-12: 60K
2007-11-19: 80K
In short, as long as Super Mario Galaxy bumps things back up and they don't heavily dip back down before SSBB, it can pretty much make up for a few slow months.

According to MC the week of 2006-09-11 it hit 928. Famitsu has it below 1K that week and the one before.brokenwatch said:

In its first year, PSP was below 30K 24 times. More specifically, it was lower than this week's Wii sales 18 times.Izzy said:
Wii and DS sales are horrible, a trend I hope continues continuely to even the market and lessen the non-game trend.
So while I thought this week was going to be ps3 ffvii remake week to place ps3 into a position where it can start getting great buzz to start selling some more consoles, I will settle with PSP selling very well and changing the direction (or as you would say, the tide) and ratios of the handheld market. This is a trend that will continue, especially with the PSP Lite.
PS3 Spring 2008 is where the buzz will be and where you will get announcements like FFVII remake. It's probabaly too early for that right now, but expect 2008 to be the year where PS3 starts breaking the 50k/weekly mark and gets on the path to pass the Wii.
Crisis Core is doing great of course and will sell 1 million copies in under 3 months.
All in all, the future is looking good for the good guys!

Leaving aside the rest of your descent into full-blown delusion and insanity, I would like to question you on the logic of calling the sales of a system that sold 70K+ units in one week 'horrible'.

Only 28.5% of Nintendo's console's are successful this week. That's like 360 hardware failure level bad
It was a good run
I'd love to have a couple of Iraqi Information Minister gifs handy. They've not been needed in a while, but luckily a blip brings out all the fanboys...
This is the moment when the tide turns! Super Mario Sunshine will change everything!
We've all seen this before.
Now Wait until... Spring 2008!

'In relation to itself' to means nothing. Otherwise we could claim that any system is doing well 'because it's selling within the boundaries of what we expect it to sell'.
A system's sales are good or bad on an objective basis. The DS sales are phenomenal, and that it failed to achieve a 100K+ week once does not suddenly make selling seventy thousand units a week a bad thing.

My God, who let Tabris back in here?
Tabris said:
You really are a moron.
There's no fucking way you're serious.
That's because you're stupid.
It's been said TIME AND TIME AGAIN there is no FF7 remake. It's fanboy delusions. People WANT one. Doesn't mean there is one. And it's HIGHLY likely that they're not even working on one.

There is not one concievable way to analyse sales data to come to the conclusion that DS is underperforming.

No, but if you want to call someone an idiot, make sure you don't look like one yourself. I would've thought this would be fundamental.
Tabris logic:
PSP - Was selling badly, but will build momentum now that it has Crisis Core and a redesign
PS3 - Is selling badly, but will build momentum once it gets the mythical FFVII remake
DS - Is selling superbly albeit less superbly than before, and is in trouble in Japan despite Dragon Quest IV, V, VI, and IX on the horizon

It's been turning into a handheld dominant gaming industry for awhile and wouldn't surprise me in the least if the consoles don't break away and become the leaders. I've got more DS games than any other console I've ever owned, a statistic I laughed madly at with my girlfriend and even she joined in the riot stating that she's only ever owned DS games.
It's not more so that I can pick up and play the DS on the public transport or in between shifts at work (something of which I haven't done either with), but it's more about being able to kick back on the futon, on the lounge, on the bed, and race around a maze running away from that monstrous FOE. That and my uneven nightly ritual of playing through Phoenix Wright before I fall asleep.
As for the PSP rise (and eventual Icarus style fall from grace next week or the week after), it's great to see Tabris try and shoot himself in the foot more than once again instead of joining in to shit out his few silly sentences and fuck off.
