Any j-gaffer knows what's the supply situation of NSMBWii in Japan?
Amazon.jp is a good indicator if a game is in short supply or not:
It had a higher than recommended price for almost a week and right now it's sold out with the next shipment being scheduled for Sunday. Are there supply problems or Amazon has a limited ammount of copies?

I understand Nintendo having trouble with Wii Fit, HG/SS or even DS carts but having trouble manufacturing a disc Wii game without any peripheral is unbelievable. Didn't they know this game would sell? Ever they had predicted 10 million copies sold for the fiscal year.
it must be the red case. The red case slows down the production.

Shortages or not, I really can't see NSMB Wii Sells more than 250k in its third week. It seems that people have high expections for this game.

Er, I'm revising my predictions since apparently I was asleep with my last ones (was thinking about Mario's second week and swapped hardware, and also compared it to the wrong week last year).

[PS3] Final Fantasy XIII (Square-Enix) - 1st week - 1.2M
[WII] New Super Mario Bros Wii (Nintendo) - 3rd week - 375K

Kotaku says that Ameblo says the first day shipment for FFXIII is 1M, with another 300K coming within the first week.

Edit: Oops. I'm very late. In my defense, I used the search this thread function with the term Ameblo and came up empty. My apologies.

Does the article mention how many bundles were shipped?

Ameblo is a Japanese blog host. Saying that Ameblo is reporting it, is like saying Livejournal is reporting something. :lol

"the guy corrected himself and now says 1.6-8mil btw.

He's also known as an attention whore and not exactly the most reliable source of information, going by his past achievements"

From the kotaku comments. Any truth to that?

Kotaku comments are also talking about FF VII remake as a done deal, any truth to that?

My friend's brother works at Squaresoft, and they're totally making the game right now. Barret is going to be voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan.

I'm feeling dumber by the second. Are you familiar with the blog that was linked? Is it considered reliable?

I promise to never post a Kotaku article again.

Ameblo has reliable posters and joke posters. If something importart is posted there you can be sure that it will be posted here too (and before Kotaku).

Just don't look at how Sony's western PSP games fare (Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier did miserable, MotorStorm: Arctic Edge, known in Japan as Raging Ice, did even worse).

Predictions

[PS3] Final Fantasy XIII (Square-Enix) - 1st day - 980k
[PS3] Final Fantasy XIII (Square-Enix) - 1st week - 1.27M
[WII] New Super Mario Bros Wii (Nintendo) - 3rd week - 322k
PS3 Hardware - 228K
WII Hardware - 171K

It's a shame that Square-Enix is barely shipping FF13, I'm sure it would have done more if there were more copies.

There is some logic to it. They're shipping based on pre-orders, and the sales of Final Fantasy as a series, above just about any other series, are dictated by that first week. Overship that, and it'll be as hard to sell out the first shipment as
Monster Hunter 3
! :lol

donny2112: Yeah, I'm aware of how the market works there, and that it is much more prone to market forces, and not so much the msrp, however, I was at least expecting 1.2M for the first shipment with following shipments of around 200k. At the rate they are supplying the stores, I think FF13 will have a hard time breaking 1.5M total. By the time they have that many copies in Japan, it will be week 5 already.

If FFXIII will have a hard time breaking 1.5 million, it won't probably be because of low shipments. If it's sold out within the week, then we can put the blame on that.

PREDICTIONS

[PS3] Final Fantasy XIII (Square-Enix) - 1st day - 899,000
[PS3] Final Fantasy XIII (Square-Enix) - 1st week - 1,199,000
[WII] New Super Mario Bros Wii (Nintendo) - 3rd week - 319,000
PS3 Hardware - 179,000
WII Hardware - 149,000

In case there was any doubt about NSMB Wii stock...

Took this picture today. Notice the HUGE stack of NSMB Wii boxes, with the one on top indicating how many there actually are. This is just one store about of perhaps two dozen in the area.

However...

One per customer, bitches. :lol

Congratulations to Level 5. Shipping over a million of Inazuma Eleven 2 is a huge jump from the original game. They're the most successful new publisher this generation for sure.

DIFFERENT TRACKERS.

Based on Enterbrain numbers, NSMBW should have done 464k in the second week.

I don't have LTDs for PS3 and Wii under Enterbrain.

Sorry guys, no predictions change from now on. Those who predicted NSMBWii<300k and Wii~100k for next week better luck next time.

I'm starting to get a very serious feeling that even with the help of FFXIII the PS3 will not outsell the Wii a single week this month.

I'd be surprised if they didn't on FFXIII week, but I could see them falling below the week after.
