PS3 is finally asserting its software dominance

Spoiler

over the 360

[ethelred]

I am surprised by CC doing so well.

Because it's bad, yeah?

It is interesting looking at the game's performance on MC vs. Enterbrain. The latter consistently has the game tracking higher, and has it tracking above the original on the GCN.

That's not nice. :lol

Yeah I thought there was going to be a massive drop off. Games on Nintendo systems in general recently seem to have better legs than I'd normally expect. It makes things pretty hard to predict.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Wii software games are dropping out of the charts week by week. Now only 3 titles on the charts. Thats sad. Wii needs more quality software....that sells well! lol

 

[KevinRo]

Nintendo had a good run.

end your life now.

Take it easy there..

10. [WII] Wii Sports (Nintendo) - 13,000 / 2,083,000

As a comparison, how many PS3s sold in Japan?

 

[donny2112]

How did Strikers sell on the GC?

< 200K by the end of 2006 according to Famitsu.

This comparison has never been considered before.

 

[Izzy]

Excellent number for ACE3 - WAY above what the lads at YSO predicted.


Ooooh, and I CAN'T WAIT for the hardware numbers...

Dude, there's a wet spot on the front of your pants.

And this has what to do with what?

 

[Dama]

no psp games?

I think he's trying to make one of those big, impressive embarrassing comparisons. Just guessin

Zeldarooles being a fool

PSP has no games.

 

[Arde5643]

PSP has no one buying games.

Fixed....

 

[Cheesemeister]

Vinnk, clear your PMs.

 

[davepoobond]

very low sales after #1

 

[AniHawk]

Gonna guess 27k for Wii sales this week.

 

[Corwood Rep]

Gonna guess 27k for Wii sales this week.

I don't think you're kidding, so I'll go ahead and admit that I'm actually thinking it's going to be around 30k plus or minus 5k.

 

[rakka]

PSP has no games.

Izzy
Spinning for Sony

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

I'm guessing Wii sales will be 1k.

 

[legend166]

I think Wii sales will be 35k.

They'll stay around that until SMG I think. Pretty bizarre.

 

[AniHawk]

I'm guessing Wii sales will be 1k.

Japan's holding off until NiGHTS is released.

 

[Tristam]

I'm guessing Wii sales will be 1k.

What caused the sudden spike?

 

[Mrbob]

All joking aside, it does seem like the Wii momentum is severely slowing down in Japan.

 

[AniHawk]

All joking aside, it does seem like the Wii momentum is severely slowing down in Japan.

Well the GC fanbase has almost replaced all their systems you see.

 

[test_account]

What's up with Wii Play outselling Wii Sports 2 weeks in a row?

Supply constrained, its the only reason when it comes to low Wii sales hehe

Spoiler

just kidding.

Seriously tho, it might be as someone mentioned earlier, they need an extra controller for Mario Party 8 and buy Wii Play for that.

Speaking of MP8, its doing really good. Also cool to see that Bladestorm is still in the top 10 and that MnG5 is still in the top 30.

Fad over. Luke Smith vindicated. Non games a non issue.

Spoiler

Wii Fit is going to destroy the world

 

[Saitou]

Not to mention the DS sales are approacing the PS2's number.

Should halt all but completely in a while.

 

[smurfx]

end your life now.

lmao, talk about taking gaming too seriously.

Well the GC fanbase has almost replaced all their systems you see.

careful now or kevinro will come to your house and do bad things. :lol

 

[VultureDude]

All joking aside, it does seem like the Wii momentum is severely slowing down in Japan.

yeah, after 2 games sold almost 2 million each, single handedly propelling a system to record sales. About time those 2 games started lagging in sales.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Is the drop really that shocking or is it just the fact that it was doing so well for so long that this apperent 2 week drop seems bigger than it really is?

 

[Hcoregamer00]

All joking aside, it does seem like the Wii momentum is severely slowing down in Japan.

Yeah, that tends to happen when there is a lack of good games released on the console

-_-;

 

[MasterMFauli]

Wrooooooooooooong. Wii demand has dropped, plain and simple.

Didnt take too long, sdf :lol

All systems have a weak week, dot.

If Wii demand is going down, PS3 was dead from the start, i guess, eh? ^^

 

[Stop It]

Wow, very slow week, yet another ~40k week for Wii too, end of summer lull I suppose before the fall megatonage.

I think schuelma is the last person to be mistaken for a wii troll.

Wii demand has indeed dropped for the past couple of weeks - right now we're just trying to find the factors.

 

[PuppetSlave]

Strikers is not out in Japan yet?

 

[Haunted]

I want Mario Party 8 to get over that million barrier.

Didnt take too long, sdf

Did you just call schuelma part of the SDF? Utterly wrong, dude. :lol

 

[MasterMFauli]

Well, we could send Vinnk on a journey through whole Japan to make sure what´s up

Did you just call schuelma part of the SDF?

Ah, Haunted, you denfend him, that means you´re part of it, too

 

[schuelma]

Uhh..dude..I'm kind of an Ntard if anything.

 

[HylianScribe]

So Phantom Hourglass broke 800,000? 15 more weeks in the year...I don't think it will break 1 million in 2007 unless their is a DS bundle with it or a strong Holiday sale.

Anyway, if anyone lives in Japan and would like to assist me in a Zelda-related matter, please PM me ASAP.

One of the factors for the lower sells might be because parents are just waiting for holidays to give the kids the presents.
So perhaps we'll see stronger sales for Zelda PH then? Hopefully...

 

[Christine]

I think it's clear that the impending release of Halo 3 is making Japan appreciative of what a next-gen console can do through the power of envy. This will naturally lead to a drop-off of interest in the Wii in favor of PS3.

:lol Schuelma is part of the SDF now?

I think the situation concerning Wii is very interesting indeed, MP is still selling very strong and is on route to be the third million seller on the system - yet sales dropped of pretty sharply. Wii is still doing good numbers but people are just used to Wii pulling amazing numbers.

It'll be interesting to see if Mario Strikers can spark some life into hardware sales being a pretty hardcore game (high difficulty, unforgiving multiplayer, generally a lot of stuff going on on screen that casuals have a hard time grasping their head around).

It's soccer though and Japanese people love their soccer.

[Bust Nak]

What do you mean? Those are great sales.

It's the highest first week sales for the series.

Looking forward to ACE THE FINAL II. Which platform do you think it'll be on?
