Link1110 said:Slow time of the year. CC releasing now is a work of marketing genius. PSP will probably outsell DS next week (Not evcn MH2 managed that,) and that will look really good sales-wise.
After CC, what are the next major releases on ds/psp?

schuelma said:Veteran Sales Agers- is there any legitimate reason to be concerned about Wii sales, or is this completely typical of the time of year?
Not especially concerning on its own. Everything seemed to have dropped, and the Taru Jesus only knows why. Honestly, we probably won't be able to make heads or tails of it until after Xmas because everything should start picking up speed soon.schuelma said:Veteran Sales Agers- is there any legitimate reason to be concerned about Wii sales, or is this completely typical of the time of year?

Though we can say that the Wii supply has finally met demand. Take that to mean either apocalypse or be amazed at the fact that it took this long.
Ether_Snake said:Oh yeah I forgot about all the other ports the PSP is getting, and the DS' FFIV and DQIV remakes.
PSP needs more original games tho (or remakes instead of ports).

DS Lite was nearly this low on the week of March 26 this year (79,897). The last time it was actually lower was... the week of August 14, 2006 (74,495). Other than that it's only been lower launch week (68,438), though at that time original DS was still racking up fairly big sales.schuelma said:On a different note, when was the last time DS was this low?
Total sales of 150,666, which sounds like a DS weekly number now. The last time it was lower was... the week of August 14, 2006.RevoDS said:When was the last time overall sales went this low?
This time of year tends to be a bit slow, but this seems to be a bigger slump than usual. DS and Wii were previously amazing-huge, though, so this is only as worrisome as them acting regular-huge for a change.schuelma said:Veteran Sales Agers- is there any legitimate reason to be concerned about Wii sales, or is this completely typical of the time of year?
I think the PS2 was even lower in it's first year. 15k - 20k or something.schuelma said:Veteran Sales Agers- is there any legitimate reason to be concerned about Wii sales, or is this completely typical of the time of year?

I never thought I would EVER see sales that low. Wii has been brought back to Earth and now Nintendo can start making real games for the system.
speedpop said:Yeah PSP is essentially dead software wise now that Crisis Core is out finally. Maybe we'll find out more at TGS but at the moment everything looks bleak
duderon said:Yeah, that's perfect reasoni..
Wait, whaaaaaaaaaa?
I still say it's a drop in consumer spending due to the recent political crisis.GreenGlowingGoo said:Am I the only one who would love to see the reaction on GAF if the Wii really did just suddenly stall completely at 4 million?
There was no drop like this last year around this time, so I don't know how to explain this. Of course the only things to really compare were the ps2 and psp. There's kinda a drought of games I guess, but there are some decently big ones out for each system.
I say Sony and Nintendo are diverting shipments of everything to america to meet demand here, and that's why sales are low.

Just so I can keep my faith in humanity.

What about lighter than air gases, hunh smart guy? Or objects freely floating through space? Or the Taru Jesus?sleeping_dragon said:im not dude, everything that goes up must come down, why cant you nintendo fanboys be a bit more realistic. :lol
