So now that X360 didn't drop below 3k, BD turn around confirmed, even if we know the fact that first week of the year is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) weeks of the year in Japan.
Yeah, pretty much its drop off related to its demand not its supply (which various sources such as IGN claimed there were no Wiis in Japan at that time.)
Plenty of Wiis?
Yeah you are right genius, and everyone else expected that 360 would drop below 2k in the biggest week of the year. :lol
240k sales for DoA3 in Japan confirmed, according to dumbo mumbo jimbo.
We can't say anything except you are full of shit and know nothing about sales trends.[B said:
Yeah, because:

Oh snap. You said people guesstimated sales while they might not do it and yet you did it yourself? And in a shitty ways as always. :lol
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5105784&postcount=862But it should easily do 1 mil world-wide. I don't expect it to do 1 mil in any one region but come on....the game is on track for 200k in Japan on a user base that's barely past that. There are more JRPG fans that currently own a 360 in the US and Europe than there are 360 owners in Japan.
The way I see it is there are currently 6-7 million hardcore gamers that own the 360, and if they're anything like me and the rest of the guys on GAF then they're just STARVING for something like BD. After all, that's why I spent money for Enchanted Arms.
Besides, I am proof and my word is final. None of the games I have ever bought on day one has gone to sell less than 500k. Therefore.....I plan on buying BD day one...+500k sales guaranteed

Not really, though it's harder to tell on that chart since the weekly Media Create data doesn't go back far enough. PSP has now been out 25 months and is at 4.7 million. 25 months for GBA on that chart would be April 2003, where it's around 9 million.DeaconKnowledge said:
Heh, not a bad idea. If DS and PS2 continue to sell as they did this week indefinitely, they'll meet up in 86.8 weeks (September 12, 2008) with total sales of 22,197,752 apiece. Of course, since this is based on a single week things can vary greatly. The same stat using last week's numbers has them meeting 20 weeks later (May 26, 2007) at 21,247,270 units apiece.cvxfreak said:

Errr. That would mean something like X360 selling 700K over the next 4.5 years, which averages to 3K each and every week for the duration.Graphics Horse said:

PS2 tops Kiwi market at Xmas, total sales over 400k
PlayStation 2 recently achieved sales of over 400,00 units in New Zealand, selling 21,800 units during November and December - 70% of total console sales.
This marks the seventh consecutive year Playstation 2 has been the number one games console in the market. In addition to record console sales, the new range of 'social gaming' titles have also proven very successful, with SingStar Legends, Buzz!T Sports, and Buzz!T Junior Jungle selling in the tens of thousands of units.
"It is no surprise to us that PlayStation 2 was the number one selling gaming platform for Christmas. As the PlayStation 2 offering goes from strength to strength, more consumers are buying into the value proposition of the hardware and the unrivalled range of software on offer. Consumers obviously saw exceptional value in PlayStation 2," says Warwick Light, SCENZ's general manager of sales and marketing.
"With new platforms on the market, we stand by our belief that the gaming category is a long-haul race. The continued support and innovation of the PlayStation 2 platform shows that a console can enjoy a long lifespan and continue to grow its appeal to new audiences. Don't think that with the launch of our next generation console we will be forgetting about PlayStation 2 - far from it. "
Christmas sales figures for 30 October to Dec 31 2006:
PS2 21,813 units = 70.9% of console market
PSP 9,560 units = 73% of handheld market

How is "if it can keep its numbers over 10k a week" constitute an assertion that it would do so? I've made a similar observation in the past - if the 360 can average ~10k/week for a couple of years, that's a decent niche. I think the 360 has a longshot at best of doing that, though. You made it sound like he was vigorously arguing that position. All of the other posts you quoted support the fact that he has NOT been arguing for that.starship said:
It didn't make sense at all if he didn't believe in what he said, he saw a big possibilty in there.GhaleonEB said:

Agreed. Shouldn't be anything close to 125 million in the EU though.starship said:mmm... Actually PS2+Xbox+GC sales in the US are very close to 75m.

He's talking 36 monts from the launch (0 - 20mn). We're already past the 24th month so his prediction is less than 12 months in the future (eq at this rate, by the end of 2007 the DS will have passed PS2 LTD in japan)jj984jj said:

Well your words were "not even" 1 out of 4 million people. You are expecting at least 25% of the population to buy video games, which just isn't happening, not even in other regions.LanceStern said:
